Post Independence, the constitution-makers had a notable focus on the future of education in India. They set the responsibility of education both in the hands of central and the state governments, by keeping education both in Union and State lists. Early in 1950, when the constitution was adopted, the framers of the constitution realized the potential of education as the nation was to be a democratic republic and hence would be dependent on well-educated citizens. Few years after independence, individual commissions were formed to review our education policy, such as The University Education Commission(1948), The Secondary Education Commission(1952), and the University Grants Commission( 1956). Under the chairmanship of DS Kothari, the Kothari Commission was formed in 1966, made specific recommendations such as Hindi being declared as the national language, the Three language formula, and that education shall be made compulsory for the children between the ages of 6 and 14. Moreover, it recommended that a total of 6% of the nation’s GDP must be dedicated to education, which is still not done in 2020. All of these recommendations were a part of the National Policy of Education presented in 1968 by the Union.
