National Education Policy 2020 launched by the Government of India opens up new avenues and areas for discussion in the academia. In a densely populated nation like India, New Education Policy 2020 serves the purpose of educating the adults and introducing new certificate and degree courses as per the demand of the time. Of course, institutes of higher education should form new syllabi and introduce new courses for the adults that can make them self-reliant. Andragogy and skill development programmes go together. In fact, Pradhan Mantri Koushalya Vikas Yojana is intended for catering certificate courses to the unemployed youth that can get a job or they can be self-employed.

The present paper attempts to examine Adult Education and Skill Development in the light of NEP 2020.
