REVIEW
The first Survey of educational administration was conducted by the Natinal Institute of Educational Planning and Administratration (NIEPA) in 1973-74. After a gap of two decades, NIEPA has undertaken the gigantic task of conducting the Second All-India Survey of Educational Administration, covering all the states and union territories. This book is an outcome of the survey recently completed in Bihar.

The book is based on an analysis of not only information collected from primary sources in the state but also the latest data from the secondary sources. It gives the present status of educational administration, right from the institution to the state level, with focus primarily on administration of school education. The selected indicators of educational development given in the book provide a comparative picture of the state vis-à-vis the all-India position at different points of time. The book provides a critical analysis of various functions of educational planning and administration with suggestions for future development of the administrative system, outlining the tasks ahead for educational planners and administrators. It also studies the activity profiles of educational administrators, particularly at district and institutional levels.

The book belongs to a series of such publications on educational administration in the various states and union territories of the country and is valuable reference material for researchers, educationists, educational planners and administrators, as well as all those interested in the development of education.
