National Policies on Education (NPE) is made up of government laws and guidelines that form basic operational principles of education in a country. These policies are aimed at improving the overall quality of education. In this study, we focused to perform a comparative qualitative content-based analysis on all four versions of the Indian National Policies on Education (NPE) as a case study. Specifically, we aimed to get insights into the contents of these NPEs, compare their evolution in terms of topics and themes covered in them, and extract their relationship and evolution alongside technology. For this purpose, we employed the Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) algorithm among other tools in the extraction of notable topics. It was established that the topics of all the NPEs and their main themes are on the same radar with education being the main theme of all. The conducted analysis also indicates the paradigm shift in NPEs according to the advancement in technology. Our research is intended to help the government and policymakers in future drafting. It provides them with concise content of past NPEs, their relationships, and differences as well as key driving factors that influence national education policy.
