“Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires

change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and

the ability to satisfy them”

Henry S. Commager

The educational institutions which provides the primary Education to the

maximum number of children is the world largest single enterprise. With the

involvement of a bit array of teachers, the biggest number of pupil, a large number of

supervisors and administrators, this kind of institution is able to change the social

value of human life with the help of education. As such, from the point of view of

magnitude, from the stand point of psychological preparedness, from the

preponderance of the sociological influences, in view of the economic necessities, and

the philosophical background and in view of scientific enlightenment and humanism,

the role of primary education is extremely significant and crucial. Education works as

a lever in raising financial and social status of the individuals. So, expenditure on

education is regarded as useful investment not only by the economists, but also by the

educationists. Economic condition of a country depends largely on the educational

standards of its people since primary education is the foundation and should be the

maximum or basic acquisition for the majority. Education is the root of modernization

and human development. Education is a process of learning and it continues

throughout the life. It promotes mobilization and encourages people to participate in

development activities. Education makes people skilled towards jobs and creates

productive efficiency.

So to know the practice of Education in India, this chapter has been divided

into two parts: Education in India before independence that includes education in all

the three historical phases’ namely ancient, medieval and modern India). Likewise,

another part basically deals with Education in India after her independence.
