Quality Education is a significant tool in achieving social development and social equality. Education plays a key role in the foundation of a sustainable society. It encourages tolerance and turns the learners into self-reliant individuals who are capable of facing the challenges of life. It helps in the social and political progress of the nation by giving its citizens a voice to speak up and enhancing their productivity and competitiveness. Mahatma Gandhi viewed quality education as one that focusses on the holistic development of the learner and equipping him with the necessary basic skills. His Nai Talim also referred to as Basic Education or Buniyadi Shiksha formed the base of many educational practices that were implemented in our nation. It stressed on bringing up a sustainable society by nurturing its learners with values like non-violence, truth, empathy, compassion, courage, resilience etc. Providing quality education to the learners is still a major developmental goal to be accomplished by the country. This paper shall analyse the National Education Policy 2020 in the perspective of Gandhi’s views on Nai Talim and Education and the relevance of his views in contemporary India. This paper proposes that we can bring up an empowered and self-sustaining nation by viewing the Nai Talim as a roadmap in the implementation of NPE 2020.
