Caging the Rainbow: The Effects of Center-Periphery Conflict on a Major Adult Education Program in India (Planning, Charisma, Bureaucracy)

In October, 1978, the Government of India launched the National Adult Education Programme (NAEP) for 100 million illiterate adults ages 15 to 35. The program was intended, in five years, to provide 10-month courses in literacy as well as in the development of occupational skills and social awareness to the target population. That goal grew out of the Janata Government's charismatic vision of a renewed, restructured, and revolutionized India. Local implementation of the program was to be through the colleges and through voluntary agencies involved in adult education.
