With its plurality and paradoxes, India never ceases to fascinate. And education in

India is only one among various other elements that have captured the attention of

the world. While the United Nations is worried about the presence of a large number

of illiterates, various other countries are amazed by the quality of some of the human

resources that the Indian education system has produced.

The growth of the Indian economy in the recent past and the compulsion to sustain it

is also forcing the Indian government to accelerate the process of developing all thebranches of the Indian education system. Therefore, it would be very interesting to

understand and analyze the various structures of education in India, its present

condition and future developments.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF INDIANEDUCATIONThe history of education in India is very rich and interesting. One can trace the

ancient India education to the 3rd century BC. Research shows that in the ancient

days, sages and scholars imparted education orally, but after the development of

letters, it took the form of writing. Palm leaves and barks of trees were used for

education, and this in turn helped spread the written literature. Temples and

community centers often took the role of schools .

When Buddhism spread in India, education became available to everyone and this led

to the establishment of some world famous educational institutions Nalanda,

Vikramshila and Takshashila. These educational institutes in fact arose from the

monasteries. History has taken special care to give Nalanda University, which

flourished from the fifth to 13th century AD, full credit for its excellence. This

university had around 10,000 resident students and teachers on its roll at one time.

These students included Chinese, Sri Lankan, Korean and other internationalscholars.

It was in the 11th century that the Muslims established elementary and secondary

schools. This led to the forming of few universities too at cities like Delhi, Lucknow

and Allahabad. Medieval period saw excellent interaction between Indian and Islamic

traditions in all fields of knowledge like theology, religion, philosophy, fine arts,

painting, architecture, mathematics, medicine and astronomy.

Later, when the British arrived in India, English education came into being with the

help of the European missionaries. Since then, Western education has made steady

advances in the country. With hundreds of universities and thousands of colleg

affiliated to them, in fact scores of colleges in every discipline, India has positioned

itself comfortably as a country that provides quality higher education to its people in

specific and to the world in general.

PRESENT CONDITIONSoon after gaining independence in 1947, making education available to all hadbecome a priority for the government. As discrimination on the basis of caste and

gender has been a major impediment in the healthy development of the Indian

society, they have been made unlawful by the Indian constitution.

The 86th constitutional amendment has also made elementary education a

fundamental right for the children between the age group- 6 to 14. According to the

2001 census, the total literacy rate in India is 65.38%. The female literacy rate is only54.16%. The gap between rural and urban literacy rate is also very significant in India.

This is evident from the fact that only 59.4% of rural population are literate as against

80. 3% urban population according to the 2001 census.

In order to develop the higher education system, the government had established the

University Grants Commission in 1953. The primary role of UGC has been to regulate

the standard and spread of higher education in India. There has been a marked

progress in the expansion of higher education if we look at the increase of higher

educational institutes in India. The higher education system in India comprise of morethan17000 colleges, 20 central universities, 217 State Universities, 106 Deemed to

Universities and 13 institutes of Natioanl importance. This number will soon inflate as

the setting up of 30 more central universities, 8 new IITs, 7 IIMs and 5 new Indian

Institutes of Science are now proposed.

PRONINANT EDUCATIONALINSTITUTESThere are quite a good number of educational institutes in India that can compete

with the best educational institutes of the world. The Indian Institutes of Technology

(IITs), Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), Indian Institutes of Science, National

Law Schools, Jawaharlal Nehru University are some such institutes.

EDUCATION FOR MARGINALIZED IINDIAAs education is the means for bringing socio- economic transformation in a society,

various measures are being taken to enhance the access of education to the

marginalized sections of the society. One such measure is the introduction of the

reservation system in the institutes of higher education. Under the present law, 7.5%

seats in the higher educational institutes are reserved for the scheduled tribes, 15%

for scheduled castes and 27% for the non creamy layers of the Other BackwardClasses (OBCs). Under the Indian constitution, various minority groups can also set

up their own educational institutes. Efforts are also being taken to improve the

access to higher education among the women of India by setting up various

educational institutes exclusively for them or reserving seats in the already existing

institutes. The growing acceptance of distance learning courses and expansion of the

open university system is also contributing a lot in the democratization of higher

education in India.

Distance education also known as CORRESPONDENCE STUDIES. The availability of distance learning courses has assured that a person can pursue education from anysate or university that e desires.

WHY POPULAR IN INDIA Lower course fees from regular studies. Serves less advantaged section of society to pursue higher education of their

choice. Easily accessible from remote areas. Increasing demand of correspondence education from the employee class to

enhance their skills & qualification.

If we analyze the view that whether all the facilities of regular study is available in

correspondence study & after representing it graphically we get,

Strongly agreed respondent: 50%

Agreed respondent : 72%

Neutral respondent : 54%

Disagreed respondent : 60%

Strongly disagreed respondent : 24%

Taking mean of all these we get the average mean value, 2.60. when we compare it

with given score to the views subheads,

We see that it lies between 2 & 3, means between disagree & neutral region. As its

more than 2.5, we can consider that most of the respondent are neutral in this point

of view.
