Abstract

For a welfare state like India, public education should be inclusive and non-discriminatory. Academic attainment of all Indians should be independent of prejudices of gender, caste, economic status or level of living. We studied the impact of these variables against a real-life backdrop of 3500 rural adult population of rural Malwa area of Punjab. Significant finding are noted which warrant for replication of such studies with wider sample and probably, a refashioning of the education / reservation policy.
