Illiteracy : A Demon

Illiteracy for our country is a great cause of concern, as it hinders the development of the country. There is a strong link between illiteracy and unemployement. Until and unless people are not literate enough, they will always be hunting for good employement opportunities like madmen. Less employement leads to less contribution to the country's GDP which eventually affects the growth and development of the country..
In my opinion , the Government should take necesary actions to reduce and gradually eradicate illiteracy amongst the masses. Workshops should be held , especially in the rural areas, to convey to the people the importance of education and the impact it will have on the country. They should be told about the bright future that will be in store for their children if they get them educated. Illiteracy is also rampant amongst the older people. Campaign among the illiterate adults, therefore is also a crying necessity. Adult education has found a place in different schemes and projects of Government. But much ground has not yet been covered to set up primary education. This segment has to be given top priority. Even we as responsible citizens of India should contribute towards battling this so-called war with illiteracy. Our motto should be "Each One Teach One", if we are to become a developed nation. In the words of the President of The United States of America, Baarack Obama, " Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change we seek.."
   AND the time for change is now; we are ready for it, are you...?????
