Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents findings from a special commission tasked with investigating educational needs in Indian villages and offering recommendations for addressing them. The report entstand from concerns raised about the conditions in mass movements towards Christianity alongside deteriorating literacy rates amongst new Christian communities. The authors note that the expansion of educational opportunities to rural communities is especially necessary to the creation of a responsible electorate which can support India's growing movement towards responsible government. Furthermore, the authors observe that the depressed economic state of the Indian countryside is a major contributing factor to educational deprivation, and that this has been exacerbated by aspects of India's caste system. Throughout the book, the authors draw on experiences from related movements in the United States, Philippines, and Ceylon in seeking possible solutions for India's educational crisis.
