Answer» Various documents of the time reveal that the indirect or the underlying aims of the East India Company to begin the modern education were – 1. Practical Administrative Difficulties – The company was finding it difficult to correspond, discuss with, and to consult and advise the rulers. 2. Administrative changes – The company needed the employees for the official works, who could understand their language, policies etc and implement the changes in the administrative matters. 3. Commercial centre – Rajputana was a main commercial centre, hence there was a need of contact language from the security point of view. 4. Psychological Reason – Dominion interests were the major cause. It becomes the top priority of the sovereigns to promote their own culture through their self designed style of education. |
