Dr Manimala Roy on Inclusive Education
Ways to improve inclusive education. With Dr Manimala Roy, Principal, Basava International School, New Delhi
Book by educationist Manimala Roy explores literacy among migrant children after 1991 reforms
Titled “From Shanties to School”, the book by educationist Manimala Roy was launched by senior journalist and former MP H K Dua together with former vice-chancellor of Delhi University Dinesh Singh.
Speaking at the launch event, Dua said that it is an important book because it chooses slums of Delhi and its outskirts as the area of research.
“She (the author) has spoken to the people uprooted from villages in Bihar and UP, and seen that there signs of a new aspirational class determined to change their lives through education in an emerging India,” he added.
The book, published by Konark Publishers, also explains the surge in literacy after the 1991 liberalisation rolled in by the then finance minister Manmohan Singh under the leadership of PV Narasimha Rao.
It also makes a point about migration from Bihar, which went up by “75.77 per cent” between 1991 and 2001, and slum literacy in Delhi, that rose from “57.18 per cent” in 1991 to “64.4 per cent” in 2001. According to the book, the impact of literacy on migrant life is also visible from the fact that the decade 1993-94 to 2004-05, which was right after the liberalisation, saw the growth of regular workers in Delhi went up by “22.4 per cent”. It further noted that during the same period the number of casual workers in Delhi fell by a whopping “71.3 per cent”.
