Abstract: The present study aims to understand stakeholders' perceptions and awareness of the National Education Policy 2020. A structured questionnaire was designed to collect the data using convenience sampling. The sample size includes 1,510 responses. Results of the chi-square analysis indicate a significant relationship between gender, occupation, educational qualification, and experience on NEP awareness, and there is a significant relationship between gender and occupation on the perception of NEP 2020. Predominantly, the stakeholders reported a positive perception of NEP 2020, and the awareness level is relatively moderate. The study recommends structured training programmes and awareness building activities by the policy implementers to enhance the positive perception and awareness of NEP 2020. This exploratory study will be beneficial for researchers and policy implementers to gain first-hand information about the perception and awareness of NEP 2020 from the stakeholder's perspective. The current study is the first in the Indian context.
