The history of earliest recognition, decline and renaissance of Veterinary Medicine in the world with the brief history of Veterinary Medicine in Indian sub-continent including Bangladesh have been described. It appears from the different reports that with the recommendation of the Joint Indo-American and Pak-American teams on agricultural research and education recommended to establish Agricultural Universities in India and Pakistan where veterinary and agriculture education brought under one umbrella with bifurcation of the complete degree, B.Sc. (Vet. Sci. & AH) into two, DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) and B.Sc. (AH) as an American education pattern of Land Grant colleges. Out of 22 Veterinary colleges of India, only three Agricultural Universities ( Pantnagar, Haryana and Punjab ) and two in Pakistan (EPAU and WPAU) were implemented the American recommendations. The Indian National Commission on Agriculture has recognized these two separate degrees offered in a profession as detrimental towards livestock development and the Review Committee on Agricultural Universities who recommended an integration of the two degrees to avoid duplication. Accordingly, these two degrees in all the three Indian universities have been combined as BVSc & AH in 1982, and as DVM in 2002 in Pakistan, whereas the Veterinary education has made more complex in Bangladesh through establishment of four Government Veterinary Colleges where offering five years DVM degree including one year internship with combined curricula on animal health and production against four years separate two degrees offering from BAU without internship. Veterinary education should include animal health, animal production and animal product technology for effective teaching, research and extension programme and accordingly, the curricula and syllabi of all the Veterinary degrees offering all over the world have been adjusted except BAU which is urgently required to adjust and reformulate the uniform curricula and syllabi in all the degree offering educational institutes in Bangladesh. Moreover, the history of modern veterinary education in India showed great achievement through establishment of Veterinary University, ‘Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University' on September 1989. Therefore, there is a strong urge to establish Veterinary University in Bangladesh following the pattern of India. DOI:10.3329/bjvm.v1i1.1909 Bangl. J. Vet. Med. (2008). 1(1): 01-08

The chapter is a prologue to the main narrative of the book. It offers an evaluation of Macaulay’s minute which paved the way for introduction of modern education in India, the idea of National System Of Education which dominated Indian thinking on education for over sixty years from the Partition of Bengal (1905) to the Kothari Commission (1964), and the division of responsibility between the Central and Provincial Governments for educational development during British Raj. It offers a succinct account of the key recommendations of the landmark Sarjent Committee on Post-War Educational Development, the Radhakrishnan Commission on University Development, and the Mudaliar Commission on Secondary Education, of the drafting history of the provisions relating to education in the Constitution, the spectacular expansion of access after Independence, the evolution of regulatory policies and institutions like the University Grants Commission (UGC), and of the delicate compromise over language policy.

History of Indian education dates back to over 5,000 years. Education in the Vedic and Muslim periods was found to be based on religion while the Buddhist period gave world-class universities. In the British period, education oscillated between being a central subject and a provincial subject. The Constitution of India placed education as a state subject, which was later transferred to the Concurrent List in 1976. But due to lack of coordination between the centre and state governments, the higher education system is found to be in a critical state. Further, there is significant disparity in funds allocation to central and state universities by the central regulator, UGC, which further worsens the situation. The current system can work, if the centre makes the law with a broader view and leaves the states with enough power to customise it. There is need to establish State Education Councils in every state to better assess the need of state universities and recommend/allocate the funds accordingly.

The article describes in detail the process of formation, development and reform of education in India. The great scientific and practical contribution of the Indian scientist J.P. Naik is that in his works he revealed the priority directions for the development of education in India taking into account the interests of the poorest segments of the population. He believed that all general education institutions should devote more time to participation in social welfare and national development programmes. At the heart of the education system, the scientist singled out a humanistic basis.

This article discusses a brief history of ‘modern’ social work in India before 1936. I present how abstract conceptions of scientifically informed and organized social work practice were brewing in colonial India, along with attempts to assemble or organize it. I use these accounts to further present certain nuances on the modalities of imported social work knowledge that dominated social work education in India after 1936.
