National Policy on Education

The National Policy on Education, 1986, and the revised Policy Document of 1992 have attempted to contain and incorporate the vision of education in both its pragmatic and idealistic aspects. It is thus the most comprehensive and farsighted policy statement in respect of this vital subject that has emerged in independent India. It cover: pre-school, primary and early education in all their aspects; the girl-child; the physically challenged; women and adolescents; vocational, technical and professional education; continuing education; management education; open learning and all related aspects. The present publication also contains a comprehensive analysis of the background and evolution of the document as also the significant ideas on education provided by Mahatma Gandhi. The book will be an essential addition to the libraries of all educational institutions.
