| ILLITERACY |
Women population constitutes a larger portion of total illiterate population.
In our country the female literacy rate is around 65% as against were as male
literacy rate of around 82 percent. Hence, women education is very important to
eradicate illiteracy.
Illiteracy is more among Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and other backward
classes who are not only poor, but unaware, unconcerned and unwilling to
improve and change their lot. Illiteracy Deprives people not only of
economic development but also of all benefits of education, reading,Writing,
etc. remaining within the darkness of ignorance, poverty and impoverishes.
It is essential that the Government of India rises up to the occasion and take
all possible steps to setup thousands of primary school all around the country
making literacy and compulsory obligation of every citizen without which he
will be penalized. For this the primary education has to be made free of
tuition fees, all books and papers and instruments including computer to be
supplied free. Unless all citizens are literate or educated they cannot ever
read newspaper, circulars, notices, Advertisements, posters, and letters from
near and dear. This will compel the illiterate masses to be deprived of
90% benefit of development, entertainment, sports and games, medical
prescription, operate cell phone, T.V and computer.
Students are the builders of a nation. They can do a lot to eradicate illiteracy.
They can spend their spare time and holidays in helping illiterate people to
become literate, teaching them the habits of hygiene and sanitation. A blind
person cannot witness the captivating beauty of nature. Similarly, an
illiterate person remains blindfolded to the charms of the world of learning
and knowledge.
When all illiterates’ changes to literates completely, India will be a new
country where 100% people can participate in all programs of all round economic
development of our country.
