Abstract : This research concentrates on developing and validating a reliable tool intended to evaluate the influence of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 on teacher education and professional growth in India. The instrument consists of 35 carefully framed items spanning several dimensions such as policy awareness, institutional preparedness, curriculum restructuring, adoption of digital resources, institutional encouragement, and educators’ professional development. Each statement follows a five‐point Likert response format. The validated questionnaire will support researchers and policymakers in examining how NEP 2020 is reshaping and strengthening the teacher‐education ecosystem across the country. The purpose of the present study is to design, refine, and validate a robust questionnaire to examine the impact of NEP 2020 on various aspects of teacher education and educators’ professional advancement. The tool covers key domains including awareness, implementation readiness, curriculum transformation, ICT integration, institutional support, research culture, and professional growth. All items are measured on a five‐point Likert scale. The instrument is scientifically developed and validated, making it suitable for academic research and policy‐related assessment regarding NEP 2020 reforms in teacher education in India.
