The Government of India has enacted the New Education Policy (2020) in India, and it has affected students, teachers, and other stakeholders in the teaching profession and increased stress among them. We are focusing on the stress among university faculty, where we see the factors contributing to faculty stress like work intensification, implementation ambiguity, research pressure, the digital divide, resource constraints, workplace dynamics, etc. It has been seen that the Government of India did not launch any specific initiatives to reduce stress among university faculty, so we look at some of the provisions of NEP 2020 that can reduce stress among university faculty, like continuous professional development, institutional autonomy, help in research and innovation, reduced bureaucratic obstacles, etc., and some strategies to cope with stress, like open communication, mindfulness practice, policy understanding, employee assistance programs, physical activity, etc., that can help the university faculty to reduce their stress level.
