In the development of a country education, employment, growth play pivotal roles. While national growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Gross Value Added (GVA) have shown noticeable progress, the rise in employment has been stagnated, leading to a condition of jobless growth. Such growth is not equitable and sustainable in long run. Therefore the primary goal for the government should be to generate employment opportunities by building a skilled workforce. This can only achieve through a sound and effective education policy that goes beyond conventional learning method. It is expected that NEP 2020 will take the responsibilities of realizing this visionary goal. This paper will focus on the condition of unemployment in India and how unemployment condition in India have evolved over time. It will also explore the policy paradigm in the education sector in pre NEP 2020 and assess their effectiveness in achieving long-standing goals. Additionally, it will analyze the factors that set NEP 2020 apart from previous policies and unveil the effectiveness and policy constraint of the new policy.
