It discusses accomplishments and challenges, and serves as a valuable resource for those seeking a comprehensive understanding of education in India, with a particular emphasis on education for disadvantaged groups.

The book provides an analysis of the historical origins of disadvantaged groups, the present state of education in different academic domains for these groups, educational policies and special development programs designed to assist disadvantaged groups, and mechanisms and measures to ensure that disadvantaged groups have access to education. It culminates with a review of the accomplishments and challenges of the group's education system and forecasts the transition from equity to efficiency in the future.
