2. History of Education In
INDIA
Earlier in India The formal
admission ceremony was
known as 'Upanayana„.
With the
accomplishment of this
ceremony the child had to
leave his home for the
„Ashrama' where he would
receive education.
3. Sanskrit was the language of teaching.
The academies of higher learning were
known as 'Parisads'. The education
system involved of three basic
processes, which included –
Sravana
Manana
Nidhyasana'
4. Sravana
In the 'Sravana' stage of
education, students
received 'shrutis'
knowledge, which was
passed orally from one
generation to another..
5. Manana
The second stage was
'Manana' which means
that pupils had to think
themselves about what
they have heard. They
have to make their own
inferences and
assimilate the lesson
taught by their teacher
into the life.
6. Nidhyasana
The third stage
'Nidhyasana' means
complete
comprehension of truth
and its use in the life.

after the functioning of
schools accredited to
central education system.

looks after the
educational
issues.
12. The National Open School

14. Other Educational
programs In India
Elementary Education.
Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA).
District Primary Education Program.
Operation Blackboard.
National Bal Bhavan.
15. Elementary Education
According to the
Constitution of
India, elementary
education is a
fundamental right of
children in the age group
of 6-14 years. India has
about 688,000 primary
schools and 110,000
secondary schools.
16. Sarva Siksha Abhiyan
(SSA)
The main goal of this program is that all children of
6-11 years of age should complete primary
education by the year 2007 and all children of 6-14
years of age should complete eight years of
schooling by 2010. This plan covers the whole
country with special emphasis on girl education
17. The SSA centers are mainly opened in
those areas, which do not have any school
or where schools are very far off. Special
girl oriented programs include:
Girl education at elementary level.
National Program for Education of Girls at
Elementary Level (NPEGEL).
Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV).
Mahila Samakhya Scheme.
18. District Primary
Education Program

be accessible to each and every child of
school going age, once a child is enrolled
in school he/ she should be retained there.

school education by helping
children to learn in play way
and natural environment.
22. Present scenario
We can see the influence of western
education every where. The target of
educational system is to give.
Higher education is becoming more
costly. Especially
engineering, Information Technology
etc., are every difficult for a middle class
person to join.
23. The present system is not meeting the
needs of the youth due to certain
political and financial constraints. It is
mostly westernized.
At present, education is a
business, where every business man is
sure can make money. This makes
education available to only rich and not
to the middle class and the lower class
people.
24. Indian Higher Education
Scenario
40 percent of the Indian population is
under 18.
According to the National Knowledge
Commission (which advises the Prime
Minister‟s office on higher education) –
Out of the Indians between age group
18 to 24 years, only 7 percent enter a
university.
25. The Commission recommends creation
of 1,500 colleges and universities over
the next several years to roughly double
that percentage.
The Commission estimates that 160,000
Indians are studying abroad, spending
an estimated $4 billion a year.
26. Demand Supply gap:
2008 is poised to be another year of high
economic growth for India.
Scarcity of higher education opportunities is
a potential hurdle to economic progress.
There is scarcity of skilled manpower in
every industry, from good carpenters and
plumbers to factory workers, doctors and
scientists.
The banking industry, which employs
900,000 people, is expected to add 600,000
more over the next three to four years.
27. The IT and IT’S industry will need around 850,000
additional skilled manpower by 2010.
The retail industry will need nearly 2.5 million
skilled professionals by 2012.
India surely needs more universities.
Japan has 4,000 universities for its 127 million
people.
The US has 3,650 universities for its 301 million.
India has only 348 universities for its 1.2 billion
people.
