The book History of Education in India extensively deals with all aspects of education that prevailed in India since the Vedic Age. All the related events and matters have been chronologically recorded in this book. The first two Chapters explicitly describe the trend of education and enlist the educational centers that existed in India during Ancient and Medieval Age. The third Chapter studies in detail the education in British India. It specifically highlights the efforts of missionaries and non-missionaries in the development of education. The fourth Chapter exclusively acquaints the readers with education in free India, particularly highlighting the changes and reforms that have occurred since Independence in the educational arena under the Five-Year Plans. The last three Chapters dealing with Adult Education, Women Education and New Educational Policy are also highly informative and useful. The book is a complete treatise on education, systematically designed to meet the requirements of the students specializing in the field of education and history. It would also prove useful to educationists as well as aspirants taking civil service examinations.
