National Policy of Education (1986, 1992)
The National Policy on Education 1986 (modified in 1992) has a full part titled ‘Education for Equality’, aimed at removing disparities and equalising educational opportunity.
It provides for education for women's equality, education of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Sections, minorities and the handicapped, and adult education to remove illiteracy — which led to the National Literacy Mission (1988), Mahila Samakhya and Operation Blackboard.
The National Commission on Teachers dealt with teachers, the Kothari Commission mainly with the overall structure and national system of education, and the Yashpal Committee with higher education; none of them is organised around these groups in the same way.
Hence, the education of women, scheduled castes, other backward classes and illiterate adults is taken care of by the National Policy of Education (1986, 1992).
