The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a significant shift in India's higher education landscape by advocating for the transformation of higher education institutions into multidisciplinary entities. This policy underscores the importance of integrating diverse academic disciplines to foster innovation, strengthen research ecosystems, and promote holistic learning. Multidisciplinary institutions are expected to cultivate an environment that nurtures critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and adaptability, preparing students for the dynamic demands of the modern workforce. By dismantling rigid disciplinary silos, the policy encourages cross-disciplinary collaborations that drive cutting-edge research and innovation. However, the implementation of this vision comes with notable challenges, including the restructuring of curricula, faculty training, infrastructural development, and institutional governance. Addressing these challenges requires strategic planning, investment in resources, and policy support to ensure a smooth transition toward a multidisciplinary educational framework. This paper critically examines the role of multidisciplinary institutions in achieving the goals of NEP 2020. It explores key policy directives, evaluates the practical hurdles faced by institutions, and discusses strategies for effective implementation. Additionally, the study provides policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the integration of multidisciplinary education, ensuring that higher education institutions contribute meaningfully to national and global knowledge economies. Through this analysis, the paper aims to highlight the transformative potential of multidisciplinary education in fostering a culture of innovation, research excellence, and holistic student development.
