After that, instruments such as quadrants and armilary spares came to be used in astronomical research.
IN SPACE The Indian Space Research Organisation under is responsible for research, development and operationalisation of space systems in : -the areas of satellite communications -remote sensing for resource survey -environmental monitoring -meteorological services
- the areas of space science Indian Space Research Organisation is also the nodal agency for the Physical Research Laboratory, which conducts research in: - the areas of space science - deploys modern remote-sensing techniques India is the only Third World Country to develop its own remote-sensing satellite.

Gurukula System went to a teacher's (Guru) house and requested to be taught. stay at the guru's place and help in all activities at home. learn from Sanskrit to the holy scriptures and from Mathematics to Metaphysics.
Modern school system “modern” subjects such as science and mathematics metaphysics and philosophy were considered unnecessary Teaching was confined to classrooms and the link with nature was broken
School system’ lower primary (6 to 10) levels upper primary (11 and 12) high secondary (13 to 15) higher secondary (17 and 18)
Exclusive schools very expensive residential schools have fabulous infrastructure low student-teacher ratio and very few students
State schools runs its own school system with its own textbooks and evaluation system generally known as government schools The fees are quite low
