The increase in the number of educational institutions of all kinds by 643 accompanied by a rise of 61,909 pupils is satisfactory, although the proportionate increase in the latter has not been so marked as im the preyious year. Taking all kinds of iostitutions into account, t^e average unit of population per institution works out at 45 against 44 in tlhe last year. This, seems to be a very small figure so far as number off pupils per institution is concerned and does not detract from the force off tlhe argument that the need for progress in the quality of schools is ever so much greater than in their number. It is noticeable that smbatantial progress has been achieved in all branches of education, and particularly in the education of girl.3, Muslims, the scheduled castes, and aborigines. The direct expenditure during the year rose by about 3| la^hiS, this sum being spread over all types of colleges and schools except primary schools for girls. Reduced expenditure from non-Government funds and loaa of income itom and private sources account for the fall of expenditure under this head. Indirect expenditure has fallen by about 3^ lakhs. Almost all heads under it record a fall, gradual' elimination of earthquake expenditure for buildings aocounting for the faHl under the head “ Miscellaneous ” though all other heads included,; in_it record a rise. 4. I attach to the report three appendices, one showing the percentage of Indian children at school to the total Indian population in ceach district separately, one giving details of madrasns, primary Urdu .'sclhools, tois and primary Sanskrit schools, and one giving statistics for ]pri.mary and middle school centres on a linguistic basis and showing the mumber of Hindus, Muslims, Christians and animicts.

  • A Brief Profile
    Patna University A Brief Profile The seventh oldest university in the Indian subcontinent and the first in Bihar, Patna University was founded by an Act of legislature on 1st October 1917. The University was established as an examining body and conducted examinations from matriculation to post graduation. Its jurisdiction mapped Bihar, Orissa and Nepal and for forty years since its inception Patna University was the arbiter of the academic destiny of these territories. The Patna University Act, 1951, which received the assent of the Governor on 6th July 1951, was passed with a view to establishing a Teaching and Residential University at Patna. The Act defines that the purpose and powers of the university shall be to provide instruction to such branches of learning as the University may think fit including professional studies and technology, and for research and for the advancement and dissemination of knowledge. It remained the only university in Bihar until January 1952 and continued to be the examining body of educational institutions in Nepal until the founding of Tribhuvan University in Kathmandu. With the founding of Utkal University this university ceased to be the examining body for institutions in Orissa. The history of Patna University parallels the history of the educational, cultural, political and economic growth of modern Bihar. It is the only teaching cum residential university in the state with a truly national character that transcends linguistic, cultural, political and other denominational boundaries. The outstanding personalities who have led India’s Freedom Struggle and have occupied or are now occupying coveted academic, administrative, judicial and political positions along with its reputed teachers and eager students have largely contributed towards its very rich academic heritage.
