In these days of individualism and economic stresses, the practice of home making has been somewhat modified but basically it remains what it used to be in ancient times today also the home is the basic social unit and a careless or clumsy housewife is n nowhere respected In recent times home making or Home Economics as it is called has been given an important place in the curricula of educational institutions of all grades from the nursery school to the university level one of the main recommendations of the Secondary Education commission appointed by the Government of India was that proper facilities for teaching Home Science must be provided in girls schools the Union ministry of Education has therefore included this subject in the syllabus of multipurpose schools.
