Explanation:

The All India Educational Conference held at Wardha in October, 1937 discussed the ideas of Gandhiji and passed the following resolutions:
I. Provision of Free and Compulsory Education for seven year on a nationwide scale;
II. Relating education with the manual and productive work and some form of handicraft;
III. Mother tongue be the medium of instruction

The Zakir Hussain Committee after analyzing each aspect of the new scheme submitted its report. The Congress Ministry evinced interest for the implementation of the new scheme. But unfortunately the scheme of education could not be properly worked out, as the Congress remained in power only for a short period. Owing to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, and protesting against the Government’s policy. Congress ministries tendered resignations. Thus, the rising tide of educational expansion was temporarily suspended.
