In a developing country like India about half of its population is illiterate. The campaign ‘education for all’ is became a law but far it remain a distant dream.
Even china, Malaysia and other developing nations of Asia have higher literacy than India. Economic backwardness and educational backwardness go together. Bihar, Orissa, Assam, Nagaland and Kashmir are semi-illiterate states. Unfortunately, the primary education in India has not been given the primacy it deserves. Mid–day meal programmed has not proved to be a great success. The campaign education for all needs to be made a reality. Much social, cultural and voluntary organization can play an important role in translating these dreams into reality. Education and economic growth go hand in hand. The open schools have proved very successful and useful in this respect. They need to be popularized especially among the villagers and the economically weaker sections. School education should be made compulsory and free. Only universal and purposeful education can lead India on the high road of progress and prosperity.
