The book attempts to reflect on the basic premises, relevance and impact of recommendations of the Kothari Commission on policy formulation broadly in seven thematic areas: perspectives, goals and values; equality and social justice; curriculum, pedagogy and knowledge; planning and governance; resources and national economy; research and development; and contemporary education development concerns. This publication should be of considerable interest to all those who are interested in issues relating to development of education in India.
