It is a subsystem of the system of'development and is bound to be effected by the socio-economic and political formations. Therefore, education is a people oriented activity. It is the responsibility of the education system to prepare the people to play the active role in the social change and development. It is being argued that basic education ensures the skills needed to lead a decent life and will enable the individual to participate elTectively in his / her community and society, Amartya Sen (l*-)84) equates the concept of de\’clopmenl to well being. I'or him. the dommanl apiirt)aches to the idea of well being the utilil\ approach and opulence appi'oach-are bolh fundamentalls' deficient. Sen offers an alternati\e 'capabilily' aiiproach to well being, lie explains (hat the capability of well being depends not merel) on food intake but also on such other human needs as primary cduc'dUon. health and medicare and social relations. I:ducation performs the principal function to prepare humanity to take control of its own development and shape its own destiny itself and to contribute to the development of'the society itself'. Whenever we talk of the education we can not escape mentioning the views expressed by the International Commission on liducation f'or the rwenty-flrsl century, appointed by the UNliSCO in 1993 which describes the t'our pillars of education ; - Ivcariiin^ to Know : - I'his does not mean the acquisition of'the itemi/.ed and codified inf'ormation rather it ref'ers to mastering the instruments of the knowledge itself'. I'.ducation enables the individuals to understand about his / her lif'e and environment and 10 live a lif'e of dignity, to develop occupational skills and to communicate through the pleasure of understanding, knowing and discovering (through the arousal of curiosity and stimulation of the critical faculties of mind), of thought (through the interplay of concrete and abstract) and of memory by association. Learnin" to do : - Here it is worth mentioning that knowledge itself if of no importance and ol'no signillcancc unless wc know what to do of this knowledge. Application side of (he knowledge is more important than the knowledge itself So then it becomes the r()icm<)si ciul\ oflhe educalion s>sleni (o tievelop the skills cil'pulling ihe knowledge in to praclicc, Ihis ma\ somehow be related to occupational skills, productivity, service '.crloi iiiid piTsoiial r()m|H“lein'e. I (o li> t‘ (o^i'duT : li poiiii.s oIwidusIn lo social I'bjcciives. 1-Alucalii.Mi stands f(ir humanism, tolerance and reason. If education fails to cater lo the need of social cohesion, social harmony and social integration than of what worth it can be. liducation should be able to contribute to resolution of social conflicts, creating, fostering and maintaining the social harmony by understanding the self and others and in developing the spirit of working togelher. Ikiucation should endeavour lo introduce the young to ways of cooperalivc undertakings through participation in sports, cultural activities and other .social welfare initiatives. I>carninj» to be : - “ The aim of education is the complete fulfillment of man in all the richness of his personality, the complexity of his forms of expressions and his various commitments-as an individual, as member of family, as member of a community, citi/en and producer, inventor of techniques and creative dreamer” Commission (1970). C'hange is a human necessity, so change in society and education is no exception. I'he innovations are the only instruments of change, but not per se. livery 3 s> stcm has a Icndcncy lo resist the innov ation due to self fulfilling prophecies of the system with time tested methods and lack of reliance to restore the dynamic equilibrium which is always disturbed by the new methods, practices and processes. Education itself is also an instrument of' social change and is assigned a proactive role, so change in education becomes necessary precondition because stagnation in education hinders chanucs in societv. India also has made several efforts in this regard since the inception of its nulcix'iuicncc Irom colonial rule. Vaiious ^igencies have been assigned the role for overhaulmg the system of education. These agencies have put several suggestions forward and man>' of these ha\ c been incorporated in our system by now but almost all of ihesc have failed at one or the other front, whatever may be the reasons. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, al ihis plalfi>rm. has come fiM'wartl with great significance and importance. 1 his dt)cs not impose philosophical suggestions on the system of education rather il has come up with concrete measures to realize the set objectives of universalisation of elementary education with quality, equity and life skills and to remove the standstill at the forefront of education especially at the stage when Constitution has resolved the elementary education as a fundamental right lo every child of 6-14 age group. SSA stands on four basic pillars of - Ulvli. Decentralization, Community participation and quality. SSA has opened the gates for need based planning at the grass root level. 1 )ecentrali/,ation in planning has definitels led to assess the needs of field needs, its weaknesses and potential, for setting its objectives and timeframe exercise and lo provide a sense of direction to all its managerial acli\ ities. This also includes the aspirations and u requirements ot the stakeholders, evaluation of changing environment and critical analysis of why current strategies are failing to meet its objectives and of what threats it is lacing and what social and legal changes it is experiencing, also allows for forecasting and operational planning, execution and its implementation for Elementary Education, l^lcmcntary [education is the stage that sparks of creativity spring into life and access to knowledge bcconics a realil} .
