> Basic Education
The Indian constitution, adopted in 1950, made it the duty of the Government to provide free and compulsory education to children up to age 14 in ten years, by 1960. But till 1990, about half of the 200 million children in such an age group were out of school, as never enrolled or drop outs. This of course is the basic reason for adult illiteracy. One of the major social sector challenges in India therefore continues to be spread of basic education to children.
