Abstract:
Education plays a pivotal role in development of a nation and its people.
According to Delor’s report on education, through education, one learns to
know, learns to do, learns to be and learns to live together. This paves way to
acquisition of knowledge, skills and values to form habits and beliefs.
Education aims at reflecting the current needs and aspirations of the society and
its values. The immediate concern of a community is to build a cohesive society
with commitment to practice and demonstrate values which are based on
reasoning and understanding of the school going children. The Directive
Principles of the Constitution of India envisage provision of free and
compulsory elementary education to all children up to the age of 14 years.
