Education is an important part of life. And for the development of
nation it is important that’s its people are educated. While talking about the
nation it means whole of India and not a part of it. For the development of
nation it is necessary that each and every citizen gets the necessary education
and not depending on whether the individual stay in rural area or urban area.
The development of rural population becomes more important in a country like
India where more than 2/3rd of its population belongs to rural area.
As per the provisional data of Census India 68% of population
belongs to rural India and the remaining are part of urban population. Now if
we only concentrate on development of urban area then it will only develop a
part of nation and thus overall development will be hampered and the country
will lag behind.
As we have seen that the Government has realized the importance of
rural education and is taking steps for it. But with the amount of population
contributing to rural civilization, the government efforts won’t be successful until
the private sector comes forward and participate in it. It’s not about earning
profit but about national welfare and social contribution.
It is a very good initiative taken and we do hope for the success
of the initiative. However in order to bring about complete development such
initiatives needs to be taken up in each region of the country and we all should
raise our hands for the same.
We all should learn from them and work for our nation. It’s our
nation and we owe a responsibility to it.
In the end I want to end with a famous quote from Benjamin
Disraeli-
“Upon the
education of the people of this country, the fate of this country depends.”

ReplyDeleteEducation no doubt is an essential requirement- esp for a Country like India, which is still a Developing Economy. In India the problem of Bonded Child Labour, is an impediment that comes in the way of implementing Education Programmes.
We may have night schools flourishing, but population educating themselves from Night Schools is not increasing at an encouraging pace.
