Social Education is both a very old and a very new concept in India. In various traditional forms, Social Education has been an integral part of our cultural stream throughout the centuries but in its present form of more or less organized adult education, it is quite recent. It started as a movement for “training in literacy” which was found not only inadequate but also ineffective as a technique of approach. Its scope was widened to include a certain amount of general know ledge, bearing on health and civic problems etc., and it put on the mantle of “adult education”.
