A Holistic Vision of Education

Preface

With great pleasure, we put forward our book, “Samagra Shiksha: A Holistic Vision of Education” which beautifully brings out intricate themes of this umbrella policy which encases schemes like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik and Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Teacher Education (TE). It has been able to provide much-needed uniformity in the work and has brought cohesion amongst these parallels. This book will enhance your cognizance of the various areas and individuals who have been impacted by this programme. Additionally, by utilizing state, district, and sub-district levels of government, this sector-wide development programme or scheme would assist in harmonizing the implementation processes and transaction costs at all levels & provide a single comprehensive strategy plan for the growth of school education at the district level, as well as level systems and resources.

It aims to give the readers a multi-disciplinary view of interdependent educational ecosystems from the lens of various educationists and working professionals in the field. There is a special emphasis on the involvement and catalytic role of technological initiatives in the field and how it has played a role in supporting and enhancing learning outcomes, in general, and considering the COVID-19 period.

With this, we encourage you all to traverse the chapters and gain an insight into the progression of the educational movement in India.
