Abstract The National Education policy (NEP) 2020, emphasizes a paradigmatic shift in India's education system by emphasizing Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) as cornerstone for equitable, and quality primary education. For this purpose, National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy (NIPUN) Bharat Mission was launched in July, 2021 under Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan. The aim of the mission is to ensure universal attainment of FLN among primary grade students by grade 3 completion by the academic year 20226-27. This is a simple review paper examines the NIPUN Bharat Mission under NEP 2020. This paper review government publication, policy documents, and research literature. On the basis of review significant issues are revealed, such as poor teacher preparation and training, serious infrastructures deficiencies, ongoing teacher shortages, a lack of teaching-learning resources, mentoring system that prioritize compliance over classroom support, and low parental involvement for achieving the mission goals. These multiple challenges significantly reduce the mission effectiveness in providing quality primary education. To address these challenges the paper recommends some suggestion related to establishing continuous professional development programmes supported by effective mentoring, improving school infrastructure, learning resources, and parental involvement. The study concludes using this recommendation through coordinated policy action, can significantly improve early-grade learning outcomes and support the achievement of the FLN goals of the NIPUN Bharat Mission.
