The education system in India is based on the British system of education. The Government of India lays stress on education for all. The directive principle contains in article 45 states that the state has to provide free and compulsory education for all until the age of 14 years. According to 2001 census, 65% Indians are literate and almost every child has access to school with around 95% of our rural education having a primary school within one kilometer of their habituations. The school education in India is at three levels-Primary (classes 1 to 5), Middle (classes 6 to 8) and Higher/secondary (classes 9 to 12). There are two categories of schools-Government schools that are entirely funded by the Government and other being the public (private) schools. There are about 888 thousands educational institutions in the country with an enrollment of about 179 millions. Elementary education system in India is the second largest in the world with 149 million children enrolled in the age group of 6 to 14 years. All the states and Union Territories of India have adopted a uniform structure of school education, i.e., the 10+2 system of education. Higher education is provided by 237 universities, which include 34 agricultural universities, 15 medical institutions, 39 deemed to be universities and 11 institutions of national importance and 8 open universities in addition to 10600 colleges. Education in India is primarily the responsibility of the state Governments although the central Government also plays an important role in higher education. Though education in the concurrent list of the constitution, the state Governments play a major role in the development of education particularly in the primary and secondary education. Para 11.4 of NPE 1986 states that the investment on education be gradually increased to reach a level of 6% of the national income as early as possible. In spite of the resource constraints, the budgetary allocation on education has increased over the years. As part of the mid-term Strategic Plan and the Millennium Development Goals priorities, UNICEF India is also committed to ensuring quality education for all children.
School is gateway to knowledge and plays an important role in building up a love for reading. The school library is integral to this educational process. Encouraged at the night age, the children are sure to develop a love for books. ‘Catch them Young’ is therefore the motto of the school libraries. According to IFA/UNESCO school library Manifesto, ‘the school library provides information and ideas that are fundamental to functioning successfully in today’s information and knowledge based society. The school library equips students with life-long learning skills and develops the imagination enacting them to live as responsible citizens. It plays this role by selecting. Acquiring and providing access to appropriate sources of information. The school offers books and other resources ranging from print to electronic media for completion of various school projects and assignments, for actuation of knowledge about a topic taught in class, for finding information about a hobby or current events and news, etc. the librarians along with teachers work together to achieve higher levels of literacy. Dr. Rangnathan stated that the school libraries are the heart of school.

Introduction
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
The oxford dictionary defined health care as “the maintaining and restoration of health by the treatment and prevention of disease especially by trained and licensed professionals (as in medicine, dentistry, clinical psychology, and public health)”
Tourism is dynamic, diverse and fast growing. It appeals to the basic instincts of a man to know more, to experience, to enjoy, getting entertained and seeing things for him. Simultaneously, it is intensely HR oriented. The servers require training, development, knowledge and expertise to deal with fellow human beings. There are several different reasons to use medical tourism in order to obtain health care. Some people, especially celebrities, prefer to have cosmetic surgeries done far from home because they want to be out of the public spotlight while they recover. In other case, some patients may find alternative treatments being utilized in other countries that are not available in their home country. In main reason for participating in medical tourism is cost.
Healthcare in India
Improvement in the health status of the population has been one of the major thrust areas in social development programmes of India since Independence. Over the past six decades, India has built up a vast health infrastructure and manpower at primary, secondary and tertiary care levels in the government, voluntary and private sectors manned by professionals and Para-medicals. India has invested massive amounts under the successive Five Year Plans in medical education, training and research which has ensured large manpower from the super-specialists to the auxiliary midwives.
Traditional Healthcare System in India
In India, in addition to existence of modern medicine, indigenous or traditional medical practitioners continue to practice throughout the country. Popular indigenous healthcare traditions include Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Homeopathy, Naturopathy and Yoga.
Both the Government of India and state governments have realized the potential of attracting tourism leveraging traditional wellness systems of India. Some state governments have been projecting their states as center for traditional wellness systems (e.g. Kerala as Ayurveda hub and UP as Yoga hub). Some state governments have announced tourism policy leveraging the potential of traditional healthcare systems. The attempts by the state governments to attract tourists are not restricted to traditional medical systems, but also through leveraging spiritual tourism/ faith healing. For example, Andhra Pradesh has drawn up an action plan to promote spiritual tourism, especially to attract with yoga, meditation and Vedanta. Similarly, Uttar Pradesh is promoting the state as Yoga hub, leveraging the presence of religious circuits and being a land of Sadhus.
