Basic education for social transition : a programme of adult education for Indian communities / Florence M. O'Neill.: R44-67/1964E-PDF

"It is universally acknowledged that functional literacy is a prerequisite to the success of any programme of social and economic development - a first and indispensable step in the development of the individual and his community. This basic premise is very often taken for granted in the effort to attain more obviously desirable goals. There are those who claim that even basic literacy is peripheral to economic development. Obviously such thinking stems from lack of understanding of the true meaning and purpose of literacy in the context of a developing community"--Introduction, p. [1].
