PREFACE
 

The announcement to evolve a new national policy on education by the Prime Minister and the Education Minister in general, and the publication of the document "Challenge of Education - A Policy Perspective", in particular, has evoked a nationwide debate from individuals, institutions, professional bodies. as well as from the press. NIEPA has been engaged in the task of analysing and has brought a series of monographs covering the views and suggestions from these diverse channels. This monograph : "Towards Restructuring Indian Education : Views of Educational Institutions" is one in the series of our analyses. Fellow academics from many sister institutions have been of immense, help to us in undertaking, this task. I would like to record my appreciations to Shri K.C. Nautiyal, who was instrumental in preparing this monograph.
