Abstract :
The term 'Education' has a very broad
connotation. It is very difficult to give its exact definition.
There is no single objective which can cover the whole
gamut of education with its various manifestations.
According to one view, the term education has been
derived from the Latin word 'educare' which means 'to
bring up' or 'to raise'. According to this view, education
is a process of imparting to an individual certain
information and knowledge which society considers
necessary. Various philosophers and thinkers-from
Socrates to Dewey in the West, and Yajnavalkya to
Gandhi in the East-have defined the term education in
harmony with their own philosophy of life. As a result,
divergent concepts and definitions of education have
emerged. According to Rousseau, education does not
simply mean imparting information or knowledge. For
him, education is not an accretion from without; it is a
spontaneous development of one's natural powers and
capacities. For John Dewey, education is the
development of capacities in the individual, which will
enable him to control his environment and fulfill his
potentialities. According to Gandhi, education is an allaround drawing out of the best in the body, mind and
spirit of a child and a man. According to him, education
begins from the moment of a child's conception to the
moment of his death. Incase of disable students
especially in higher educational institutions have been
facing number of problems. Hence, the present study is
enlighten the perception of disable students on
awareness and problems in higher educational
institutions in Anantapuramu district of Andhra
Pradesh State.
Keywords :
