Abstract:

India’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047—a developed, inclusive, and self-reliant nation—places education at the heart of transformation. The Integrated Teacher Education Programme (ITEP), launched under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, aims to revolutionize teacher preparation by merging academic rigor with pedagogical depth. This paper explores ITEP through the lens of Neutrosophic Theory, a mathematical framework that accommodates truth, falsehood, and indeterminacy simultaneously. By applying neutrosophic logic to teacher education reform, we uncover the nuanced realities, contradictions, and uncertainties embedded in policy implementation, curriculum design, and educator development. The study proposes a neutrosophic model for evaluating ITEP’s effectiveness in shaping future-ready teachers and aligning with the goals of Viksit Bharat.
