Abstract
Atam Nirbhar Bharat aims at making India Self -Reliant in all aspects of life. The journey from the present state to Atam Nirbhar Bharat will be offering new challenges. These challenges will be additional to the one's which India is facing today. They may be related to technology, education, management, education, medical or any other field. Education is the key sector that produces technocrats, teachers, managers, doctors, engineers, scientists and what not. NEP 2020 focuses on a paradigm shift from the policies of previous years. The UNESCO Report of Delors Committee (1996) also focuses on Holistic Education for the 21st Century. The goal of Holistic Education is to strengthen every aspect of the students, like physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual. The tradition of Holistic Education is rooted in Ancient Indian Education System, where the education was imparted in Gurukuls and students used to stay with the teachers. The NEP 2020 also proposes holistic and multidisciplinary education. Meditation is a powerful tool that helps to strengthen the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of a person.
