Abstract
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, a revolutionary policy framework in India, aims to create a comprehensive and inclusive educational system that addresses the varied needs of the country’s populace. One of its most progressive features is the focus on multilingualism, serving as both a means for effective learning and a fundamental element of teacher training. Given India’s rich linguistic diversity, with numerous languages spoken across various regions, adopting a multilingual strategy in education poses both an opportunity and a challenge. This article delves into the significance of multilingualism in teacher training as outlined in NEP 2020, analyzing the hurdles and prospects it offers.
