Education is a powerful instrument of social transformation and nation building. With this vision the Education Commission (1964-66) popularly known as Kothari Commission was constituted. The book attempts to reflect on the basic premises, relevance and impact of recommendations of the Kothari Commission on policy formulation broadly in seven thematic areas: perspectives, goals and values; equality and social justice; curriculum, pedagogy and knowledge; planning and governance; resources and national economy; research and development; and contemporary education development concerns. The book should be of considerable interest to all those who are interested in issues relating to development of education in India, policy planners, research scholars and students of education.
