This article aims to revisit the paradigm of education and focus on the components of happiness and ethics as laid down in the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020 of India. Our youth need to learn not only reading, texting, surfing and messaging but also how to be caring, compassionate and self-respectful; and how to develop family, ethical and constitutional values. To fulfill this objective, the rich heritage of Indian knowledge and wisdom has been a guiding light for the NEP. Only by combining ethics and positive psychology with education will it be possible for teachers to turn into future educators. This article attempts to answer five moot questions in the context of happiness and ethics. First, how education, happiness and ethics have been defined? Second, why should higher education teach happiness and ethics? Third, why have ethics in education gained more importance in the midst of technological revolution? Fourth, is there a functional relationship between happiness and ethics? Last, how NEP envisages building happiness and ethics in the higher education? To answer these questions, we have used an analytical method, and an interdisciplinary approach. While this article considers higher education in the context of the technological revolution era, ethics and happiness are viewed from traditional wisdom and the scriptural basis of India. Based on the exploration and analysis of this study, the author suggests that happiness and ethics, as enshrined in the NEP, are solid foundations to cope with the emerging challenges. It sends a strong signal: By means of happiness and ethics you will rise higher and higher. For future research, it is recommended that research be undertaken to explore the ethical means of implementing expeditiously and efficiently the psychological, philosophical, and moral matters enshrined in the NEP.
