Abstract: The continuous appraisal or evaluation of adult education programmes by external agencies has been an integral part of the design of this programme since the time the Ministry of Education stepped up adult education in the late seventies. Several faculty members of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIMA) have partici pated in these evaluations since 1979. The State of Rajasthan was assigned for such an evaluation by the IIMA faculty. In the first five evaluation studies conducted, attempts were made to continuously improve the methodology of evaluation from study to study. This article is an attempt to present the evaluation methodologies used in these studies. This presentation is followed by a critical examination of the extent to which such evaluation studies will help in the self-renewal of adult education programmes. Finally some suggestions are made for using the evaluation studies of these programmes for self-renewal and development.
