India's higher education system is undergoing a massive renovation as a result of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which aims to convert the sector into an environment that is multidisciplinary and focused on the student. This paper examines the leadership and management capabilities required for libraries to adapt to the NEP 2020. It highlights the challenges and opportunities libraries face in supporting teaching, learning, and research within the framework of this policy. Through a comparative analysis of the NEP 2020 and previous policies, the paper identifies key innovations and their implications for higher education institutions (HEIs). The study employs a conceptual discussion, focus group analysis, and predictive techniques to assess the policy's impact. Findings suggest that the NEP 2020 encourages autonomy, continuous evaluation, and the integration of digital resources, requiring libraries to redefine their roles and strategies. The paper concludes that successful implementation of NEP 2020 will enhance the quality of education, foster innovation, and promote inclusive access to knowledge resources.
