Abstract :

Education imparts knowledge whereas the quality of education gives opportunities to individuals to learn and develop. The researcher aims at understanding the quality of education imparted both at the micro and macro dimension. At the macro level, the initiatives that have been undertaken by government for improvement of quality of education imparted have been examined. Further to understand, if there is any gap between the initiation and penetration of the policies initiated, an empirical study is done of a peri–urban region in Uttar Pradesh. Additionally, comparisons have been drawn between the Indian Standards for schools and the schools set up in Kasana Village and stark differences have been witnessed between the desired and actual level of quality of education. Research findings indicate that there is no proper linkage between planning and efficient implementation of the government policies and this is preventing rapid development of the peri urban areas.
