second five year plan (1956-60) when heavy industries became the basic
industries, the socialistic education was given and was put emphasis
on conversion of baxic education and secondary and higher
educations. Also, when India saw the economic crisis and the school
attendance rate fell in 1960's a big reconsideration on the whole
education was done establishing the advisory committee including
foreigners.
