Education is accorded a high priority in development policy in most countries, including India.

Education is a fundamental requirement for enhancing overall quality of individual and societal life.

THERE is enough evidence to show that often, development policies adopted by governments have widened the disparities amongst sections of people.

The statement, tucked away in one of the many thick Agrawal Samaj magazines I had been perusing, made me smile.
