Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020's emphasis on skill development and entrepreneurship is expected to have a profound impact on India's youth. By integrating vocational education into the normal curriculum, promoting entrepreneurship education, and fostering industry-academia partnerships, NEP 2020 target to equip India's youth with the requisite skills and entrepreneurial potential. This can enhance their employability, entrepreneurial spirit, and ability to be creative and inventive. However, problems like debt, unemployment, and regional disparities may still arise. Through the successful implementation of NEP 2020's provisions, including mentorship and support networks, these barriers can be reduced and the potential of India's youth can be fulfilled. In order to find out how India's young perceive the effects of skill development and entrepreneurial programs under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, this study mainly uses an opinion poll. The study adds to the body of knowledge already available on entrepreneurship and skill development, offering guidance to stakeholders in the industry, educators, and policymakers.
