7. Over the years, schools established by
philanthropic individuals and institutions
have continued to thrive with state
recognition through grant-in-aid policy. In
India, educational institutions are operated
through the government, grant-in-aid to
private agencies, private organizations or by
minorities. Thus, there are four forms of
educational management in India:
a) Publicly managed and funded (e.g.
government primary schools)
b) Publicly managed, but publicly and
privately funded (e.g. government
secondary schools)
c) Privately managed but publicly funded
(e.g. government aided schools and
colleges). Government aided schools are
charitable trust run schools that receive
partial funding from the government e.g.
DAV College d) Privately managed and
funded (e.g. unaided schools and colleges)
e.g. The Doon School, Delhi Public School
