The Society for the Promotion of National Education

The Society for the Promotion of National Education was established in India in the 19th century, primarily to improve access to education for the broader population. Its aim was to promote national consciousness and social reform by providing educational opportunities, particularly in vernacular languages. The society worked to integrate modern educational methods with traditional values, encouraging a sense of identity and community among Indians. By advocating for education, it played a crucial role in the social and political awakening leading up to India's independence movement, emphasizing the importance of knowledge for national development and self-governance.
