Synopsis Education, almost universally, is seen as a powerful instrument making positive and effective contributions for a better world. It is such a large undertaking and it has so radical an influence on man’s destiny that it can be proved damaging if its very substance, its relationship to man and his development, its interaction with the environment, as both product and factor of society are not deeply scrutinised and extensively reconsidered. In a country like India where variety marks physical, social, economic and cultural aspects, any worthwhile attempt at understanding the way education operates at the national level must endeavour to deal with variations peculiar to local contexts. The study of a micro-level unit and the like put together relieves such apprehensions. The present work reports the research carried out on one such phenomenon, viz. Need for higher education in Arunachal Pradesh, basically stressing upon the dropouts. This volume focuses on the following various aspects of education—primary, secondary and higher. Certain remedies for the eradication of various maladies are also suggested. The volume grown upon many tables and analyses is expected to be popular among the readers and researchers on education of Arunachal Pradesh.
