It caught my attention when my colleague cum friend Mr. Deepak Singh mentioned to me about the soaring illiteracy rate in India. Let me make this post very simple; our nation is the habitat for the largest illiterate population in the world. Our country being a developing nation along with the burden of a rather poor economic situation in the world cannot do much funding. The world bank is providing India with $1.5 bn dollars but that wont be sufficient to educate the young generation of our country.
Think about it, these kids represent the future of our nation. Certainly not a very bright future here! So do what you can. If you are working in a corporate, the company may have tie up's with organisations who helps in eradicating the illiteracy. If not, check out for the organisations who do this. And if you cannot contribute in currency, then volunteer yourself to teach some kid, provide them clothes or books. Whatever, every drop counts!
While I am working to find out more who does what, here is the contact details of an oraganisation who does this;
