Initiatives Taken

Many Strategies and efforts are made towards Education. Universal access to quality is a fundamental right of every kid in India. To promote education, the Indian government introduced “Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA)” or "Universal Education Scheme”. It aims at providing free and compulsory education to all kids of age 6-14 years. SSA also aims to provide life skills. It also has special programs for girls and children with special needs.

The oldest running and the most successful policy is the mid-day meals policy. Under this policy, the central government provides free after-lunch to the students—milk in the morning. Nutritionists curate meals offered to facilitate proper growth among students. Started on 15th August 1995, this program has benefitted crores of children. To encourage girls, the government provides proper sanitation facilities in schools. Children are provided with free stationery and uniform dress too.

The Education System

Problems are part and parcel of life. Similarly, the education system has its problems. Although “universal education for all” has been a motto of our government, we still have a long way to go. Income disparity between rural and urban areas and women’s and backward community education need tremendous work.

Education obtained must be used for the constructive purpose of the welfare of society. Few people, for selfish gains, sometimes use their knowledge for unfair and unjust purposes. It is essential to create awareness regarding this.

Finally, addressing the lack of financial literacy at a young age. Subjects like physics, maths etc., are taught to us in school, but not the practical skills required to excel in life. Concepts like saving, investments, asset management, shares and bonds etc., must be taught in our educational institutions. A student must be financially literate before being employed to manage his finances well.

Story Of My Neighbour

My neighbour, an aunty, is very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and lovely. Her dream was to become a doctor. While pursuing her 2nd-year medicine, due to some financial and personal issues, she had to give up her dream of being a doctor and had to support her family through her job. Fifteen years later, she was comfortable in her life, and she decided to pursue her studies again. She successfully obtained her doctorate and treated underprivileged people for free. She also helps other kids like her who are unable to support their education financially. This incident is a fine example of how educating one person can lead to a chain system of bettering society.

Darwin’s theory expletives on the fact “Survival of the fittest”. Education is the tool for it. It is of utmost necessity. It bestows a person with strength, knowledge, financial independence and, importantly, thinking. Valuing others' views and treating everyone with respect is the basis of education. Educated people make a better family, home, community, and ultimately a better and happy country.
