Description

Education in India by J.C. Aggarwal is a focused academic reference work designed to introduce readers to the development, structure, administration, and policy framework of Indian education. Drawing attention to educational statistics, institutional growth, state-level patterns, national policy concerns, and comparative perspectives, the book offers a compact yet information-rich overview of the Indian education system. It is especially useful for students of education, teacher trainees, researchers, and readers preparing for academic discussions on educational planning and reform.

The volume covers major areas such as educational statistics in India, literacy, enrolment, teacher education, vocational education, pre-primary, elementary, secondary, higher, adult, and women’s education. It also discusses curriculum and textbooks, educational technology, examination reform, open university and distance education, financing of education, educational planning, and committees and commissions on education in India. Special attention is given to the National Policy on Education, administrative bodies, autonomous organisations, and major institutional structures that shape education at national and state levels.

In addition to its India-focused material, the book includes sections on the state of education in Asia and the Pacific and a global view of education, making it valuable for comparative educational study. The inclusion of tables, policy extracts, reference material, and pathfinders strengthens its usefulness as a study and reference text. Clear in scope and practical in arrangement, Education in India is well suited for classrooms, libraries, teacher-training institutions, and readers seeking a structured understanding of educational development, policy, planning, and administration in India.
