As India possesses the largest number of illiterate adult persons in the world the relevance of adult education is self understood.The field of social education is also neglected and the general public is still unaware of the problems hovering over society and the modern days' paradoxes. As the globalization and industrialisation has set in the great social upheaval is in the offing. We are witnessing the technological revolution, information and communication revolution, the revolution in the market and at the home. This book tries to do justice with the problems in the field of adult education and social education. It is a small but compact book which covers many aspects of adult education and social education. It is hoped that this book will be liked by educators, education administrators, and the researchers in the field of education.
