CAREER CARDS - CwSN NEP 2020

 

On 31st March 2026, Shri Sanjay Kumar, Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education launched the Career Cards for Children with Special Needs (CwSN) at Kartavya Bhawan-2, New Delhi. He emphasised the vision of Hon'ble Minister of Education Shri Dharmendra Pradhan ji in implementing the mandate of NEP 2020 through inclusive classrooms.  

By extending opportunities for equitable career pathways, lifelong learning and active participation in the workforce for CwSN, DoSEL seeks to ensure that no learner is left behind in the journey towards Viksit Bharat. 

This initiative has been developed by UNICEF in collaboration with Pratham Education Foundation, NCERT, PSSCIVE and National Institutes for Disabilities. Senior officials from the Ministry, autonomous bodies including CBSE, KVS, NCERT, NVS and representatives from UNICEF were present during the launch.

These Career Cards are designed to advance inclusive career awareness and guidance for CwSN across all categories of disabilities.

What this means for students: - One clear recognition system — no more multiple approvals to check. - Faster launch of job-ready programs in AI, design, sustainability. - Freedom to mix disciplines like tech + business or science + art. - Focus on learning outcomes and employability, not just paperwork. This could make higher education simpler, more innovative, and truly student-centered.
