This study examines the relevance of Aurobindo Ghosh's educational philosophy in the context of the National Policy on Education (NPE) of 1986. Aurobindo Ghosh, a prominent philosopher and educationist, emphasized the holistic development of individuals, integrating spiritual, intellectual, moral, and physical dimensions. The abstract aims to explore the alignment between Ghosh's educational philosophy and the goals and principles outlined in the NPE of 1986. Through an analysis of Ghosh's writings, educational texts, and policy documents, this study investigates the core tenets of Ghosh's philosophy, including integral education, values-based learning, and the harmonious development of mind, body, and spirit. It then examines how these principles resonate with the objectives and strategies outlined in the NPE of 1986. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the potential contributions of Ghosh's educational philosophy in shaping education policies and practices in India.
