Abstract
Kothari Commission, 1964-66, was created to
find a model of education for an integrated
socialist and secular India. Mid-1960s saw some
of the worst language riots in India. The elder
statesman C Rajagopalachari cautioned that
without English India’s federal structure may
be under threat 1 . Since independence, there had
been two commissions and numerous
committees, with little progress in finding a
nationally acceptable model of education. The
government resolution appointing the Education
Commission, 1964-66, noted:
... a wide and distressing gulf persists
between thought and action and
programmes concerning the quality of
education, even where these were
well-conceived and generally agreed
to, could not be implemented
satisfactorily.. 2
