In June 1692 a Standing Committee of the CABE was set up to formulate the aims and objectives of Social Education in relation to the changing conditions and needs and to submit plans for future development with the priorities to be assigned for different pro- grammes. The Standing Committee has prepared its First Report on "The Concept of Social Education". *This Report summarises and restates the content of Social Education in paragraph 16.

The CABE may consider the report, particularly paragraph 16 and advise on the following matters:

(a) Whether the 7 point programme indicated therein may be accepted as the basis for future planning of Social Education

(b) Whether the activities listed in this report should be taken up collectively through a single agency and if so, whether that agency should be a special administrative organisation for Social Education functioning under the Education Department of State/Union Territories Governments or the activities might be taken up by various agencies such as the Education Departments, the Community Development Organisation and the Local-self Government Organisation particularly the Panchayat Raj. In the latter case the Board may advise regarding the co-ordination of these activities for the sake of clarity and uniformity ; and

(c) Since the Committee has indicated that the list of activities is not exhaustive, whether any other category of activities have to be added to the list in order to make the list as extenstive as may be practicable in the present situation.
