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.
