Education in India, Vol. 1 (Hardbound - 2005)

Education in India is a multi-layered and multi-dimensional phenomenon. The various demands, needs, requirements, approaches and output of sub-sectors of this overwhelmingly vast sector are immensely varied. It is not easy to comment on this issue. Moreover, the excessive governmental control over education system on one hand and decreasing governmental funding on the other make the situation ironical in its own way. Through these ambitious Volumes, we have taken up this challenging task of candidly analyzing different aspects of education in India. The Volumes are expected to be useful for all those related to this field as well as to the general and aware reader. The biggest asset of these volumes is their apolitical approach wherein attempt has been made to see things as they are. Straightforward and practical approach is the strength of this venture.
