Q.1-7. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.
Illiteracy in India has, since long before independence, been regarded as an obstacle to development. It is commonly believed that without substantially eliminating illiteracy, India cannot become a cohesive nation and give to all its citizens the quality of life they have long yearned for. No wonder that education in general and literacy in particular have been accorded a high priority in the country’s development process.
In a resolution on National Policy on Education adopted in 1968, radical reconstruction of education was proposed so that it involved- A transformation of the system to relate it more closely to the life of the people, a continuous effort to expand educational opportunity, a sustained effort to raise the quality of education at all stages, an emphasis on the development of science and technology, and cultivation of moral and social values.
In 1986, stress was laid on the educational policy and the provision of equal opportunities of education to all classes was emphasized. There has been some progress in the field of education since the 1950s. The number of recognized primary and middle schools has increased more than three times (that is, from 2.23 lakh in 1951 to 6.94 lakh in 1989-90).
Together with the quantitative expansion of education facilities, there is now a greater emphasis on the qualitative aspect as well. Before 1976, education was exclusively the responsibility of the states, the central government being concerned only with the coordination and determination of standards in technical and higher education.
In 1976, through a constitutional amendment, education became the joint responsibility of both the Centre and the states. Determined efforts are now being made to achieve the goal of universal elementary education and eradication of illiteracy in the age group 15-35 by the end of the century. On one hand, community participation has been planned, and on the other hand, a programme named “Operation Blackboard” has been implemented to provide the basic amenities in education in primary schools. Non-formal education and open learning systems are being encouraged at all levels. However, in the field of removing illiteracy in the country, not much progress could be made an account of its huge population. This is evident from the vast magnitude of illiterate persons still found in the country.
