<br/><br/> Education has been the foundation of Indian society since the beginning of civilization. Prior to colonization, the Gurukula system was prevalent and worked on informal structures. This provided a greater scope for interaction with the society and the connect between knowledge and its application. During times of Nalanda and Takshashila, the history of higher education in India was more holistic and connected to the society. The current education system is rooted in the British education system which brought in a formal structure and contributed significantly to the growth of education in India. Universities, colleges, and schools were structured and developed on these lines. – Reproduced
