Abstract
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, introduced by the Government of India, represents a groundbreaking shift in the country’s education system. The policy emphasizes the holistic development of students, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and emotional well-being. However, for the vision of NEP 2020 to materialize, one of the most essential factors is the professional development of teachers. Emotional Intelligence (EI), a concept that refers to the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and influence emotions—both in one and others—plays a critical role in empowering educators to meet the multifaceted challenges of contemporary teaching.
