In the first place, let us have a few bald statistics.
It is hoped that these are approximately correct, but in
obtaining the details for such statistics from various
sources, there is the danger of a small school being
omitted, or of its being included twice. These returns,
however, will be sufficiently accurate to serve the purpose
for which this book is being written.
Some of the institutions are under the Provincial
Government, some are under the Municipality, others
are more or less private schools, some of them, receiving
Government aid, have to conform to Government regula-
tions in many particulars, those which do not receive
such aid are of course perfectly independent.
The following table gives the numbers of Schools and
students:—

distinct name, being called the Ranavir Pathshala.
