Education: Its importance and condition in INDIA.

Ahhh! Sad, but true, the cruel fact is that all of us are not equally blessed.

But I personally believe that rights and duty always complement each other and come together in a package. If god has endowed us with more riches, he definitely expects us to share it with the less fortunate! And PARITRAAN, is all about it.

When we talk about sharing with someone less fortunate than us and helping him/her, what is better than sharing your knowledge? Just like happiness it is one of those riches which multiplies on sharing. Moreover when we share our knowledge with others we give them a gift of a lifetime. It’s both wealth and investment at once.

Usually when the term education is used people take it to be mere deliverance of degree knowledge and training but ‘Education’ is not limited to it. It encompasses the act of people gathering together to share knowledge, it is a act where people are willing to learn, to teach and to share. And knowledge doesn’t always refer to stuffs that help you get a job! It has a much broader sense, definitely.

Education is really very important in life. Not only it ensures us bread and butter, it gives meaning to our lives in a true sense. It gives us the satisfaction of being able to support ourselves and our dear ones it thus liberates us from the shackles of dependence. It gives us the power to dream and the calibre to make it true.

It enhances the quality of our thought and life. When different people of different kinds mingle together, all benefit. Sharing our views of life with others and knowing about theirs definitely brings us closer to life and to living it.

Apart from quenching our materialistic needs, it gives us a platform to enrich our social life too; and the greatest of all it makes even them capable enough of helping others and the chain goes on!

Thus education enhances the beauty of every bit of our lives; but alas! majority of the Indian population hasn’t ever even known the joy of it.

Our constitution has provided a clause for free primary education for all. The government has set up many schools for primary education, but to what avail? There is no awareness of its importance and most of the population (majority of those residing in villages) are ignorant of the various facilities offered to them. If this is the scenario of primary education, there is no point in speaking about higher education.

I would like to conclude this article by just humbly requesting you to do your share. May be to you it may seem small, but someone will bless you all their lives for giving them a life.

Like they say – “Your kindness makes a difference. Even if it is a very tiny act of goodness and you think no one notices, God notices. Always remember that one little act of kindness can tilt the balance of an entire situation. One little act of kindness can ripple out in countless ways that you many never know about.”

Dream and give them the power to dream too!
