In July 2020, India launched one of its most ambitious and long-overdue educational policy reforms: the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. With promises of transforming everything from curriculum structures to teaching practices, from digital infrastructure to foundational learning, NEP 2020 was, at its core, a declaration of intent to position education as a driving force for national development and individual empowerment. Five years later, however, the story of its implementation tells a tale not of failure—but of fragmented ambition. The NEP’s transformative potential remains intact, but its realization is marred by uneven execution, political contestation, and infrastructural limitations that threaten to turn a policy of promise into a paper of platitudes.

In celebration of International Women’s Day this March, the second edition of our Labour Journal underscores the importance of gender inclusion in achieving India’s ambitious target of reaching $30 trillion in GDP by 2047. It is essential that no woman is left behind and thus we need to define a clear path to double the female labour force participation rate. This involves understanding women’s workplace challenges, creating more inclusive employment opportunities, ensuring the robust implementation of women’s rights, and increasing female representation in leadership roles. A collective effort is needed to dismantle the societal biases and barriers that continue to hinder women’s participation in the formal workforce as economists around the world concur that ‘Gender inequality is not just a social issue, it is an economic issue.
