Abstract

The development of India in one of the most prominent democracies of the world, just, socially conscious, cultured, and compassionate country preserving liberty, equality, fraternity, and justice for all that is envisioned in the Constitution of India, depends vehemently on the higher education policy of the country and this development points towards the protection of Socio-Economic Rights of the learners as well as of the people around these young learning minds. The economy and ability of the country to sustain livelihoods are both greatly aided by higher education policy of the country. India is transforming into a society and economy based on knowledge. Given the demands of the 21st century, effective higher education must work to create morally upright, considerate, all-round creative minds. It must allow someone to study one or more specialized fields of interest in-depth while also fostering character development, ethical and constitutional values, intellectual curiosity, a scientific temperament, creativity and a spirit of service. All these criteria are equally applicable for the development of the modern legal education system in India as well. In 2020, the Government of India introduced New Education Policy, 2020 which introduced certain groundbreaking ideas in order to invite some fresh air to the age old education system of India that involved both sided Teacher and Student oriented teaching and learning process on the basis of the outcome of every course that helps to enhance the expertise of the learners which helps them to protect their Socio-Economic Rights in the contemporary globalized world. This present paper intends to look into this factor specifically involved with the legal education in India.
