course, bringing the total number of persons trained at the Institute to 404.

In February, 1961 a committee was set up by the Ministry of Education to review the work and progress of the Institute. One of its main recommendations relates to the starting of a nine-month training course. This course is intended to train key personnel so that they are thoroughly equipped for conducting training courses for the teaching of English in their own States.

24. Assistance to Voluntary Educational Organisations:

The Ministry of Education gives grants to voluntary educational organisations, which are doing some educationally significant work to expand or improve their existing services or to start new ones. During the year under review grants amounting to Rs. 1,27,000 and Rs. 2,79,555 were, respectively, given to 22 organisations working in the field of elementary education and 18 organisations in the field of secondary education.

A grant of Rs. 35,000 has been sanctioned to Banasthali Vidyapeeth, Jaipur. Provision to continue it during 1962-63 has also been proposed.
