Abstract – The paper examines the acceptance, relevance and utility of TISE. Based upon available literature, field survey, and observation, in the Western Uttar Pradesh region of India, socio-economic and educational relevance of TISE is being assessed. The intuitive significance of TISE is tested against empirical information. Specific gains attributable to TISE are discussed, along with critical evaluation of the problems, paradoxes and prejudices against traditional learning in a macro social, political and economic environment.
