RESOLUTION
SUBJECT:—National Policy on Education
No. F. 30-60/67-IU.—Education has always been accorded an honoured
place in Indian society. The great leaders of the Indian freedom move-
ment realised the fundamental role of education and throughout the
nation's struggle for independence, stressed its unique significance for
national development. Gandhiji formulated the scheme of basic educa-
tion seeking to harmonize intellectual and manual work. This was a great
step forward in making education directly relevant to the life of the
people. Many other national leaders likewise made important contribu-
tions to national education before independence.
7. The Government of India will also review, every five years, the
progress made and recommend guidelines for future development.
G. K. CHANDIRAMANI,
Secretary to the Government of India,
