Abstract The National Education Policy 2020, released by the Government of India, emphasizes the importance of promoting multidisciplinary education and research in higher educational institutions. This research paper aims to review the guidelines suggested by the Government in the NEP-2020 policy document regarding the integration of multidisciplinary education and research, their necessity, and significance in the context of revolutionizing research and education in higher educational institutions in India. It examines the potential of multidisciplinary education, such as the improvement in critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the enhancement of innovation for entrepreneurship and skill development based on innovative practices.
The paper summarizes the key points outlined in the multidisciplinary education and research, and proposes the necessity of such a method of teaching and learning in higher educational institutions in India. It reviews the potential benefits of multidisciplinary education, including the promotion of critical thinking, problem-solving ability, and the enhancement of innovation. It examines various challenges and obstacles to implementing multidisciplinary initiatives, including institutional structures, faculty development, and resource allocation. Overcoming challenges like institutional restructuring, establishing new pedagogies, and forming incentives for interdisciplinary research are addressed as well. The paper concludes by highlighting the significant potential of multidisciplinary education and research in India and the need for a concerted, collaborative effort to realize this vision set forth by the National Education Policy 2020.
