Education Graphic Presentation in India

Abstract

From Foreword: This graphic representation of “ Education in India” was first published in 1951 and was accorded a very favourable reception both in the country and abroad. It provided a compact and well organised source of reference for statistical information pertaining to various significant aspects of Indian education. Since its publication, we have passed through the important years of the first Five Year Plan and this is, therefore, an appropriate opportunity to produce another edition, which will bring the information up-to-date so far as possible. In this edition we have provided altogether 39 charts, not merely duplicating the earlier charts but introducing new ones and arranging them altogether into seven groups which cover the Central as well as the State activities in the different educational stages. We have provided the text pertaining to the charts both in English and Hindi in order to widen its appeal to teachers of all grades. I venture to hope that educational authorities as well as students of education and the interested public will welcome this publication and find it useful.
