About the Book

Education has been a core necessity of individuals, social groups, nations and human society.  Since the formation of Indian Republic, educational policies, plans and programmes unequivocally underscored the idea of education for all but in a vast, populous and diverse country having staggered socio-economic differences the execution of policies and plans has always been a challenge.  The New Education Policy 2020 speaks to all aspects of education during our times and envisions a complete overhaul of education system with equity and inclusion. This book deals with several issues presently organised by different sectors of education and suggests measures to the challenges of the time.  We all should come forward with plans for developing the qualitative educational institutes.
