The country had to wait 34 years until a New Education Policy 2020 was implemented. At a time when the health, happiness, and immunity of children are becoming more and more crucial owing to the epidemic, the new National Education Policy is a welcome improvement. The new NEP has a number of crucial components that are essential for a child's overall growth. The NEP accepts sports as being as vital to other subjects like English or Science by doing away with the strict division between academic and extracurricular activities, hence improving the Fun and Engagement that students so badly desire in a school. Children can grow physically, mentally, and socially through play. Also, we have discovered that play has a positive impact on attendance rates, classroom behaviour, and academic results. Also, assessment-specific reforms like the creation of the National Assessment Center and monitoring a child's progress based on learning outcomes are fantastic initiatives since they concentrate on a child's whole development by focusing on their learning progress. We anticipate that play and sport will be taught and evaluated with the same rigour and organisation as core academic subjects, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to enjoy play and sport and helping to create a country of children who are more physically active and healthy. Children's holistic development is greatly aided by the focus on vocational education, and it is our desire that students will be able to select physical activity and sports as a vocational topics. We anticipate that the policy will be translated to reflect a more engaging, enjoyable, and playful learning environment for kids while still achieving the adult learning outcomes targets. The current research piece examined NEP 2020's different flaws and shortcomings in relation to other industrialised nations in terms of physical education and sports.
