Education in India 1976-77 Vol. 1

Abstract

From Preface: The Ministry of Education and Social Welfare introduced a revised system of educational statistics with effect from the year 1976-77 because there existed considerable time lag in the collection and publication of educational statistics on account of the data collected being voluminous and also because of the inadequacy of the staff to -cope with this work of collection. Under the revised system, the collection of statistics was simplified into four forms. It was decided to publish the numerical data collected in the simplified form E.S.I separately in a single volume as Vol. I of ‘'Education in India” as distinct from the financial data being collected in Form E.S.II which is proposed to be published as Vol. II of “Education in India” . Examination results will form Volume III of the publication “Education in India.” This is a departure from the earlier practice when the numerical data including examination result as well as the financial data were published in- one single volume.
