The big impression is made also by achievements in a sphere of education. In the morning schoolboys and students noisy flocks hasten on Delhi streets in schools and colleges. Now in capital it is so much pupils, how many in 1947 was all inhabitants. Every fourth inhabitant of Delhi studies. To a gain the independence country in Delhi was only ten colleges with four thousand students. Now - about 60 colleges. Only at Delhi university it is trained hundred thousand students. Also that is especially significant-varies a social composition of students. Earlier it were children mainly from rather well-founded families. Now among students more and more children from labour layers. The share of girls quickly increases. Now they make about half of all pupils.
It was necessary to pay attention to how for the past years the cultural life has quickened in capital also. In the early sixties the first trial telecasts were spent to Delhi. Nowadays hundred thousand delijtsev gather at the telescreen. We have visited on a display of paintings of young artist Safrani a new fine showroom. Still recently in capital there was no professional theatre. Now in a city constant theatrical companies operate a drama school and some. One year prior to our arrival the National committee on a science and technics has been created.
