INTRODUCTION:
India is part of an old civilisation but
it is a young nation. It received its independence back in 1947. From that very
year our country has thrived pretty hard to develop in every aspect. Top
companies wrestle to establish their base in India as no other country would
give them the opportunity to have such an extravagant and live market.
As said earlier, India is a young
nation. All our hopes have always been associated with the young. The young,
now what does it refer to? It refers to the children, the same children who
form the backbone of our country. Are they provided with enough facilities that
they will turn into assets for our country or they will remain as liabilities
just like others? Will they lend their shoulders to carry on our country in the
path of development? Is our government bothered enough for them?
HISTORY:
Over the years, Government has
introduced many projects. May it be “Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan” or the very
famous “Mid-Day Meal Scheme” to lure the students in coming to school,
fact is that none of them has been successful enough. Now some will contradict
this statement and say that there is a tremendous increase in the literacy
rate. I agree there is increase in the literacy rate. But as asked before how
many people out of this educated bunch are actually an asset to the country and
not just liabilities? The increase in literacy rate is meaningless because
earning degrees is not going to help the country in anyway. How are you
utilising your earned knowledge ion the land which has helped you in achieving
all that matters a lot.
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar,
one of the biggest cricket stars this country has ever produced and this world
has ever seen. He is just a matriculate yet he commands and demands respect and
love from the entire planet. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, the people’s president,
had had no scope of getting proper primary education but he became the 11th
president of world’s largest democracy. Dhirubhai Ambani, one of the biggest
business giants this country has ever witnessed, had no proper education. But
the legacy of his business empire is still carried on. Now why all these
examples? It is because none of them relied only on education, they focused on
the other aspects also which are now aptly called as the Vocational Courses.
Our main focus, as shown above, is
children. Projects started by government have short term effects. They learn,
they forget. Some out of that lot excels and gets a white collared job, but
then he also becomes a part of the rooster
coop system. Nobody tries to do something out of the box. These people are very creative and have far
more practical exposure than we would ever have in our entire life. These
little bundles of joy are stacked with energy. All we need to do is to
channelize these bundles of energy into a positive form and use it in a
productive way.
PLAN: We can train
those children under the students who are already doing better in their
respective propaganda's. Who knows, some children out of that bunch might go on
to become one of the best dancers or singers or players this world has ever witnessed!
PROCEDURE:
These children can be brought to the
university twice or thrice a week, mainly in the weekends. Our students can
look for their interest and guide them in the things they are interested
in. This should be made free of cost as
they cannot afford any expenses. LPU organises so many events. In some events
they should be allowed to perform so that it boosts their confidence level and
they remain prepared for their future endeavors. Our collaborations with
various organizations can help these talents reach the best platforms.
CONCLUSION:
God has given us so much. Nothing will
be taken away from us if we help these tiny tots. It will be a blessing in
disguise if we shape someone’s future in a better way than s/he had ever
imagined. Nothing can be better than this. Then may be our country India will
thrive not only for Literacy Rate but also for success in every field. Then we
can call it properly developed and not only literally.
