The Indian educational system has grown manifold in the last decade and is expected togrow even more in view of the changing needs of the society. Indian society is characterizedby social, ecological, ideological and economic disparity. This demands for educationalpolicy and practices that cater to the needs and aspirations of children from diversebackgrounds. To facilitate such educational practices, there has been a propagation ofteacher education programs across the country.However, there remains a lack of adequate material that looks at the theories and their implications keeping in mind the cultural context. With this in mind, the idea to bring out the Indian edition of Educational Psychology, 13e by Anita Woolfolk was materialized.
