Synopsis Education is fundamental to all round development of human potential material and spiritual. It refines sensitivities and perceptions that contribute to national cohesion, a scientific temper and independence of mind and spirit, thus furthering the goal of socialism, secularism and Democracy enshrined in our constitution. Education develops manpower for different levels of economy and empowers the poor masses to become self-reliant enough to participate, in the process of national development. Education is thus an instrument for developing an economically prosperous society and for ensuring equity and social justice. This book elaborately discusses the vast subject of social education. It includes the basic concepts, paradigms, policies, management and latest details of the subject. It will be highly valuable to policy makers, researchers, scholars, students, and those who are involved in developmental activities.
