Study on the Chances of Revive of Dropout Students of Dooars Region of West Bengal

Education is neither teaching nor instruction. Instruction is an artificial and limited activity. It influences the child only in a limited time and place. But life-long education goes on influencing an individual throughout his life. Instruction ends in the classroom, but education ends only with life. So, Education is the process of living through a continuous reconstruction of experiences. It is the development of all those capacities in the individual which will enable him to control his society and fulfill his possibilities.
