Report of the Study Group on Supervision and Inspection (Rajagopal Committee)

Abstract

The Conference of Directors of Public Instruction/ Directors of Education in its meeting held at Bangalore from May 28-30, 1969, felt that improvement of the quality of supervision and inspection was an urgent need for introducing various reforms relating to the improvement of teaching methods, in-service programmes, institutional planning, school complexes, etc. It, therefore, recommended, inter alia, the setting up of a Study Group to undertake a study of the existing position and to suggest measures for improving supervision and inspection in the country. It was in pursuance of this recommendation that the Government of India, Ministry of Education & Youth Services constituted a Study Group in July 1969 under the auspices of the National Council of Educational Research and Training.
