2. • Education in its broadest, general sense is the means
through which the aims and habits of a group of people
lives on from one generation to the next. Generally, it
occurs through any experience that has a formative
effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts. In its
narrow, technical sense, education is the formal
process by which society deliberately transmits its
accumulated knowledge,skills,customs and vaules fro
m one generation to another, e.g., instruction in
schools.

3. • Education in India is provided by the public
sector as well as the private sector, with control
and funding coming from three
levels: federal,state, and local. The Nalanda
University was the oldest university-system of
education in the world.[2] Western education
became ingrained into Indian society with the
establishment of the British Raj.

Education Act or Right to Education Act (RTE),
which was passed by the Indian parliament on 4

of free and compulsory education for children between

Constitution.[1] India became one of 135 countries to

8. • In spite of certain outstanding examples of individual
achievement of Indian woman and a definite
improvement in their general condition over the last
one hundred years, it remains true that our woman still
constitute a large body of under - privileged citizens.
Women of course do not form a homogenous group in
class or caste terms. Nevertheless, they face
distinctive problems that call for special attention. The
Backward Classes Commission set up by the
Government of India in 1953 classified women of India
as a backward group requiring special attention.

9. • The ministry of Education clubs girls with Scheduled
Castes and Tribes as the three most backward groups
in education. Ram Manohar Lohia considered the lot of
women to be similar to that of Harijans. Realizing the
enormity of the problems of Indian women the
Government of India has appointed a separate
committee on the Status of Women in India, The social
backwardness of Indian women points to the great
hiatus between their legal status which is more or less
equal to that of men, and their actual position in
society, which is still far from the ideal which exists on
paper. The educational, economic, political and social
backwardness of women makes them the largest
group hindering the process of rapid social change. 9

10. • Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) is Government of
India's flagship programme for achievement of
Universalization of Elementary Education (UEE)

12. From this presentation we want to convey
that although various schemes have been
launched, still illiteracy is prevailing in our
country. Only the schemes launched will
not remove illiteracy, a common man can
also take steps to remove it and thus
contribute his valuable step in
development of country. 12
