Development of Education in India (First volume of the Historical Survey) was published in 1986 and was well received by the educationists and administrators. Encouraged by the great response to the publication, the authors decided to make it a continuing series and update it from time to time. Accordingly, volume 2 under the tiled second historical survey of Educational Development in India covering the period 1985-90 and volume 3 with the tile Third Historical Survey of Educational Development in India devoted to period 1990-92 were brought out. Similarly, volume 4 entitled Development of Education in India encompassed the period 1993-94. The focus of the present volume is on India as it was in 1994-95 and 1995-96. In this compilation every effort has been made to give all important facts not only of India but also of the world as a whole. The challenges facing the world, global economic and social development and significant international reports have been included. Relating to India it has been attempted to provide almost all embracing facts and figures with regard to various sectors of development. Detailed account has been given about the important aspects as well as other social areas which are of significance in any discussion on India. It is hoped that like the previous editions, the present volume world also be of equal interest to a large category of readers from different disciplines and professions, administrators, business magnates, economic analysts, journalists, planners, researchers, students and those preparing for various competitive examinations.
