In this book an attempt has been made to present the subject matter in such a way so that the readers get not only sufficient information and understanding about the community participation in education through Village Education Committees and expected role functions of these bodies but also access to researches conducted on Village Education Committees which clearly reveal the strengths and limitations of these committees in terms of performance in the context of expected role and responsibilities assigned to these bodies for ensuring the quality education at the village level.
