In this research, we explore the potential and the problems of implementing arts in India’s New Education Policy (NEP 2020). Secondarily, data analysis is used to compare enrolment patterns, funding distributions, student satisfaction, and dropout rates before and after the policy is adopted. Data key: enrolment rates in arts programs have gone way up, with numbers increasing from 8.5 percent in 2019 to 10.3 percent in 2021. However, dropout rates have decreased, and measured satisfaction among students has increased. Finally, the report underscores the importance of financing to improving student experiences and results, with an important relationship between funding levels and satisfaction. However, while this looks encouraging, areas such as the lack of well-trained teachers and the lack of schools in the remote areas still exist; therefore, this need calls for continued funding in arts education. The report underscores the importance of teacher preparation, infrastructure development, and continuous assessment while highlighting those holes or research gaps concerning the precise effects that NEP 2020 will have on arts education. This study contributes to the literature of future research in this important field by offering valuable insights into emerging changes in arts education in India within NEP 2020.
