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).
