Abstract

A question then is why are we questioning the whole system if it has achieved this and if it has been able to produce people who rise to the highest levels. The question is not so much of the past, it is more of the future. The world is progressing tremendously rapidly. The only think that can keep India abreast of this progress is a solid grounding in education for all our peoples. This is basically the question that has been tackled in the paper that has been put in front of the nation a few days ago. How are we going to prepare the nation to meet the challenge of the next century and to meet the challenges of the latest and newest technology as it comes?
