The
Institute believes that education, if properly planned and organized,
can serve as an effective stimulus for evolving an egalitarian social
order based on the principle of social justice and freedom and dignity of
the Individual. From this standpoint it attempts to build up an
integrated program of research, teaching, experimentation,
extension and publication. It concentrates on developing non-formal
education than intervene in the formal system. Yet, it assist in trying
out measures for reforming the formal education system so as to render
it more responsive to the needs of the disadvantaged sections of
society. While searching for alternative strategies and models for
various levels and types of learning outside the formal system, the
Institute attempts to identify and use non-professional teaching
resources, devise non-traditional techniques and materials, and
emphasise learning more than teaching.
