Procrastination, characterized by the act of delaying or deferring tasks, presents a pervasive issue that obstructs progress and achievement across various domains (Smith, 2022; Brown & Johnson, 2021). The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) in India embodies a transformative vision for the education system, aiming to address long-standing challenges and promote comprehensive development (Thomas et al., 2020; Singh & Kapoor, 2019). However, the effective implementation of NEP 2020 faces obstacles resulting from procrastination at different levels. This research study examines the phenomenon of procrastination in the context of implementing NEP 2020 and explores its implications for educational reforms. Drawing upon a qualitative research design, the study employs interviews and surveys with key stakeholders engaged in the implementation process of NEP 2020. The findings shed light on various factors that contribute to procrastination, including bureaucratic complexities, resistance to change, and unclear policy guidelines. The consequences of procrastination during the implementation process lead to delays in realizing the intended benefits of NEP 2020, thereby impeding progress in the education sector. To address this challenge, it is crucial to develop strategies that foster effective implementation and mitigate tendencies for procrastination. These strategies encompass cultivating a culture of accountability, providing adequate resources and support, and enhancing communication and coordination among stakeholders (Robinson, 2023; Kumar & Patel, 2022). Additionally, establishing robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms is indispensable for tracking progress and identifying potential barriers in the implementation process (Gupta & Sharma, 2021; Jain & Mishra, 2020). This research offers valuable insights into the challenges posed by procrastination in the implementation of NEP 2020. By effectively addressing these challenges, policymakers, educational institutions, and stakeholders can collaboratively work towards successful implementation, ultimately leading to positive transformations in the Indian education system.
