"Once upon a time education was an end in itself. Not any more. Today education is a tool, a need, a facility, a linkage and a means of transformation. All these nobel goals bring their own challenges. India is a multi cultural, multi-religious, multi linguistic and multi regional society. Hence no single educational system can be equally effective. How to handle these diversities are best handled by the author in this useful work for all concerned." (jacket)
