Education has always played an important role in shaping the destinies of societies through development of the whole individual. It is the most powerful instrument for achieving goals of economic development, technological progress and also for establishing social cohesion. Education is a dynamic process, changing with the prevailing socio-politico-economic conditions and fast expanding knowledge over the years. In the recent years the need for reconstructing education has been felt acutely. The present book is a modest effort in this direction. It makes an in depth study of emerging issues unraveling relationships between education and development in Indian society. Briefly outlining the concept and nature of education, it presents in detail its approaches and dimensions, history and development. It analytically studies the trends, processes, ideals and philosophy of education against the backdrop of Indian society. It brings to light the elements, mission and aspirations of Indian society. It is replete with quotations from eminent personalities, thinkers and educationists which remarkably enhance the value of the book. The book is undoubtedly an authentic source for all information on Education. Simple in language and lucid in style, the book is concise and easily comprehensible. It includes a rich bibliography to enable readers to pursue the study further. Designed as a textbook, it will be particularly useful for students, researchers and teachers of Education. Even the general readers interested to know about the prevailing situation of education in India will find the book informative and interesting.
