Abstract: 

A paradigm shift is proposed in Indian Education system under National Educational Policy 2020 and strengthening of early childhood care and education is one of the key features of the policy. In an effort to reform the educational process as per the demand of contemporary times the concepts like foundational literacy and numeracy are being introduced. The promotion of regional language is also an attempt to reduce the burden of students and facilitate learning to its maximum extent. Training of teachers is also an important component under policy so that a trained taskforce can be created to impart high quality early childhood education.
