The current trend shows a significant increase in the popularity of e-learning, with blended learning effectively putting this concept into action. The COVID-19 pandemic has created a situation that necessitated individuals to participate in various activities from home, including education, which has profoundly altered the teaching and learning methodologies. The importance of blended learning, which integrates traditional classroom teaching with online learning techniques to improve educational quality by encouraging the use of digital tools alongside face-to-face instruction that promotes critical thinking, aligns with the vision of NEP-2020 for a multidisciplinary and skill-oriented approach. Additionally, blended learning's ability to assist students in remote and underserved areas, as well as its capacity to accommodate diverse learning styles, corresponds with the NEP's goal of delivering inclusive and equitable education. This innovative approach not only addresses the challenges associated with traditional rote-learning education but also prepares learners to thrive in an increasingly interconnected and technology-dependent world. This paper explores the concept of blended learning, the necessary conditions for its implementation, and its significance within the Indian education system. It also examines the benefits of blended learning, the challenges encountered, and the strategies for its effective implementation.
