Proceedings of the Fourth Meeting of All-India Council for Technical Education Held at Calcutta on the 28th April, 1949

Abstract

I consider this question of equipment as one of prime importance from another point of view also. Many of the universities and other non-official institutions which your visiting committees have inspected can easily undertake the training of a much larger number of students provided they are assisted in acquiring and setting up additional equipments. I was rather struck by the fact that the number of trainees in most of these institutions, even on the basis of your recommendations, is rather small. It is desirable to utilise the facilities offered by these universities and other institutions to the maximum extent. This is very necessary because do what we may, it will take some time to establish the four Central institutions and it is in the national interest that the number of trainees should be forthwith increased to the highest possible degree.
