<br/><br/> Right through the years, since the development of the country was moulded in accordance with the plans formulated in the Planning Commission by expert and scholars, the position that has been given to education in the overall policy of development formulated by successive governments, has been much lesser than the statements made about it. But is needs to be stressed that the country cannot progress unless the people are educated enough to be aware of their problems and are able to take up suitable activities to improve their lot. The initiatives in the direction of universal education and total literacy can lead to realisation of ambitious development programms in all other sectors in the longer run. - Reproduced.
