INTEGRATING SPORTS INTO EDUCATION: ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF THE NATIONAL EDUCATION POLICY ON SPORTS LAWS IN INDIA

Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 signifies a transformative approach to education in India, highlighting the necessity of integrating sports into the academic curriculum. This paper explores the implications of NEP 2020 for sports laws in India, emphasizing existing legal frameworks and the reforms required to support effective implementation. By critically analysing current legislation, this study identifies gaps and proposes recommendations for aligning sports education with national educational objectives. Ultimately, this paper argues that integrating sports into education is crucial for fostering a healthier, more balanced, and socially inclusive society, contributing to the holistic development of students.
