"Education is the process of development which consists of the passage of the human being from infancy to maturity and, the process whereby he adapts himself gradually in various ways to his physical social and spiritual environment. But even in this social process, the child needs support and freedom from an economic pressure, and that is why education requires long period of social as well as biological infancy when the young would live off the labour of others and be released from self support. 

The present Encyclopaedia entitled Education System in India presents all the important aspects of education and its related field. The text are arranged in lucid form and written in simple colloquial English.
