The Indian Parliament discussed and adopted the National
Policy on Education (NPE - 1986) during the Budget Session
in 1986. The Minister of Human Resource Development
produced a Programme of Action (POA - 1986) during the
Monsoon Session for the implementation of the policy.
Twenty-three Task Forces were created. These Task Forces
had educationists and government representatives from the
Central and State Governments.

Task Force I was called "Making the System Work", and Task
