"The Government of India in order to plan develop and oversee higher education created an agency by the name of University Grants Commission. The University Grants Commission has been a funding agency for the development of colleges and universities. The fact that India has an infrastructure of education which is third in the world has to give credit to the University Grants Commission for its expansion and development. Similarly, the Government of India developed an institution by the name of National Council of Educational Research and Training. The main function of this institution has been to conduct research in elementary education and secondary education. Since elementary education and secondary education are the subjects of the State Governments. Recently, the Government of India has developed an institution by the name of National Council of Teacher Education which is overseeing the work of teacher education in the whole country and is working for the bringing of uniformity in the field of training of teacher.
Besides this the Government of India, constituted about three commission of education to guide development of education in the country.
In this way we see that the administration and management of education in India is a joint venture by the Central and the State Governments and on the basis of the recommendations of various commissions, the scheme of development of education were framed in various Five Year Plans." (jacket)
