| Abstract | This paper examines the important aspects of National Education Policy 2020 and Sustainable Development Goal 4(Quality Education) that promote women’s empowerment in India by enhancing their socio-economic independence, decision making ability and role in nation building. This study explores the provisions of NEP 2020 for Women Empowerment and identifies barriers to effective implementation. It also makes recommendations to overcome these barriers. This study analysed the notable progress made in women's education and empowerment in India, with a particular focus on the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and its alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). This paper examines the historical background, educational reforms, policy initiatives and Government initiatives while also highlighting the key challenges that hinder effective implementation. These challenges include socioeconomic inequalities, cultural norms, lack of proper infrastructure, and gender-based violence. The study emphasizes that truly empowering women requires a well-rounded approach that combines education, job opportunities, legal protection, and a strong support system. This paper explores the role of government initiatives and NGOs in supporting women's rights and providing essential services. It highlights the need for inclusive policies, active community involvement, and regular monitoring to make empowerment programs more effective. By overcoming these challenges and building on its strengths, India can keep empowering women, creating a more equal society and driving social and economic progress. |
