Illiterate and untrained person cannot be expected to operate and maintain complex machinery. It is by investing in them that their productivity can be increased. It is through public education that the state can increase the effective labour supply and hence the productive capacity of the nation. An education programme has to be wide and varied. There is need for primary education, so that every child for school going age may receive compulsory education. In order to provide material for the universities and to be opened. At the same time, training institutions are needed, for imparting instruction to machines, electricians, artisans, nurse, teachers, agricultural assistance etc. In the education echelon and the university education and research institution for turning out ever increasing number of doctors, administrators, engineers and all types of trained personnel” programme of education lie at the base of common citizenship to harness the energies of the people and develop the nation and human resource of every part of the country.
