In1948, All India educational conference was held and it was decided to give the free, compulsory education within sixteen years. In 1960-61, Tamilnadu government executed the compulsory education to all the 6 to 11 years old children in a planned manner. In 1965-66 compulsory education was given to children in remote villages.
