Education was always 'popular' in India. Certain Vedic (or suchlike) education was confined to upper castes but many other disciplines, subjects were widely accessible. The funding for education came from local zamindars, temples donations, village panchayats, or in case of big institutes there were royal land grants. Also, when it came to vocational education, the guilds used to have their own apprentice mechanism to teach the crafts. When it came to basic numeracy and literacy, village schools always housed 20-30-40 students as per the case.

It is when British came, they dismantled the whole system and then started the era of mass illiteracy in India. Please read the chapter in New NCERT standard 8. I have attached the PDF here. Please go through it.

Two Notices:

Regarding History Optional Test Series 2023
What are the problems you face while writing an existing Test Series in the market for History optional between Prelims and Mains? I am right now at the design stage for the 2023 version of the History optional test series and would like to take all the genuine responses into consideration.

Since more than 75% of you are preparing for 2023, I think you are uniquely posed to give inputs. You can either respond here or get in touch personally for genuine suggestions.

For aspirants preparing for 2024/25
Around 25% of you are preparing for 2024 and further. We are planning to start a dedicated teacher support for all the 2024/25 aspirants at this stage of preparation.

I have often noticed that many aspirants realize only when they start writing a Test Series that they lack adequate knowledge, understanding of the concepts, comprehensive coverage of topics or even the basic answer writing skill altogether. After clearing the Foundation course when the focus shifts to Prelims preparation however, there is very less time to cover up all the issues. Intervention at this stage, one year before Prelims, is going to be always very beneficial.
