Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to address various aspects of education, including languages and medium of instruction. Generally, the NEP 2020 emphasizes a flexible and multilingual approach to learning. It recognizes the importance of the mother tongue or regional language as the medium of instruction in the early years of education. The policy promotes a three- language formula, where students are expected to learn the mother tongue or regional language, Hindi and English. National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 introduced several reforms for higher education in India. These reforms aim to transform the higher education system to make it more flexible, multidisciplinary, and in tune with global standards. This study attempts to understand the impact of language and its effect on teaching and learning in higher education.
