The NEP 2020 also lays stress on shifting paradigm of the prevalent philosophy of education of rote learning as such kind of learning will never be able to facilitate development in the nation. The NEP 2020 now emphasises on a holistic, integrated and inclusive approach to education that would not only eliminate rote memorization and exclusion in our education but also encourage rational thought and creativity in the learner. Hence, a great similarity is observed between the Vocational education in NEP 2020 and Gandhi's Nai Talim education. Accordingly, the main objective of the present study is to analyse the influence of Gandhian thought on National Education Policy 2020 in the perspective of Vocational Education. It also attempts to study the changing role of 21 st century teachers in the implementation of vocational education.

The reason behind selecting these objectives is that in a democratic society, Domestic Violence is always considered as human rights violation. Domestic violation has no age, no religion, no gender and no socio-economic status. It may take place at any time, within any family of any religion. But from general observations it is to say that Violence or crime against women has always been increasing in every country of the world because of which Human Rights is becoming a popular issue among the common masses. Educated women are specially emphasised in this paper as educated women cannot express or share easily their painful experience with others. Educated women are always conscious about their social status. They have fear of losing self-respect, if they use to share their beater/painful experiences getting from in-laws or from husbands. A few years back, the 3 rd National Family Health Survey (NFH-III) reveals that over 37 per cent married India women are victims of physical or sexual abuse by their husbands and over 40 per cent of Indian women have experienced domestic violence at some point in their married life. Different Research Studies show that present education system is not in a position to stop domestic violence against women. So, it is the moral responsibility of every person of a civil society to think over the pervasiveness of this serious issue from educational and sociological point of view.

When people consider environment as an important factor to be protected through their friendly behaviour in purchasing household objects then it is called eco-friendly buying behaviour. Today’s women are often called as ‘homemaker’. Now a day, almost in all families, women play as the chief ‘purchase officer’, controlling all kinds of purchase decisions. She has accomplished this financial freedom by her sheer ability to compete in the male-dominated world. The New Indian Woman (NIW) is a hard working, multi-tasked who juggles her role as home maker and professional woman. Today Indian woman has a greater sense of empowerment and economic freedom and this indicates that her consumption pattern has been changed.
