Despite far-reaching changes in policy and programming aimed at improving the standard of life in India, the last decade has seen mixed results in terms of its achievements as far as Life Long Education is concerned. This book contains 16 chapters each touching a specific area in the field of Life Long Education contributed by experts on the subject, which provides deep insights into the interface between different facets of education, development and innovation in Indian context. The focus is not simply on describing situations or the unmet needs of education, but also to offer examples of positive solutions and successful initiatives. The projects described in the book are drawn from different areas like health, environment, women education, consumer education, computer literacy, corporate social responsibility, folk media and tribals upliftment. It assists readers in critically evaluating and choosing those methods that have highest probabilities of yielding benefits for their special population. The book will be useful to Panchayat functionaries, development workers, policy makers, teachers and students of Universities involved in fieldwork and people who are working for the development of the communities in rural and urban slums.
