Her effort to trace out the growth and development of technical/professional education makes this work more rich and praise worthy. Development of higher education, efforts of the socio-religious organisations to spread education, the government policy towards education and the acts passed by the British Government in regard with it as well as the work done by the popular governments in various parts of the country are some other important features of this work. There is consistency of ideas and facts the present work must encourage the young scholars to take up some other neglected aspects of the education during the period under review.
