Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 presents education as a lifelong process that extends beyond formal schooling and supports the full development of individuals (Government of India, 2020; NEP 2020’s Commitment to Adult Education, 2024). This paper examines how adult education and physical education together advance the policy’s holistic vision of learning, health, and well-being (NEP 2020’s Commitment to Adult Education, 2024; NEP-2020 Physical Education, Sports and Yoga Curriculum, 2021). It also includes global examples of adult physical education programs, such as community fitness classes and older-adult exercise initiatives, to show how lifelong physical activity is being encouraged internationally (Levy et al., 2020; CDC, 2025). The discussion argues that NEP 2020 connects literacy, skills, physical health, and social inclusion within a single framework of lifelong development (Government of India, 2020; NEP 2020 on Sports & Yoga, 2023).

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
