Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: The strategy of economic development followed by India from 1951 onwards started undergoing changes from the middle of the eighties. The Soviet model of central planning of the economy started yielding to market forces. Almost corresponding to the timing of macroeconomic policy directions, a new education policy referred to as the National Policy of Education was put in place in 1986. In 1992, a Review Committee covered the whole ground again. Their report also led to some policy changes. The latest in the series is the Report on a Policy Framework for Reforms in Education authored by two leading industrialists and submitted to the Prime Minister’s Council of Trade and Industry in April 2000. In addition to these major reports covering the whole education sector, there was a plethora of other Committee reports on individual aspects of education reforms.
