Education- An important amenity of life

India is a Developing Country. She has come a long way since the attainment of independence. There have been major breakthroughs, developments and progress in the past few decades. To be precise, it can be said that there has been a major revolution in the Indian sub-continent. But, on a sad note the fact is that India is also deemed with many a problems.

Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, corruption and many such socio-economic problems are showcasing the present situation of the nation. In the midst of all these pitfalls, India is also tackling the major global problem of over population. More than 30% of the population is below the poverty line. The Central and State Governments have made several polices and schemes and also passed out numerous acts but there hasn’t been significant change or improvement in this regard.

India is basically considered an agricultural country where 70% of the population belong to the peasant class. But because of lack of basic knowledge and proper infrastructure, they have not been able to tap the resources judiciously. Even in the informal sector, people are not well-equipped and properly trained. The situation is such grave that more than half of the population does not have the access to the basic amenities of life-which are food, water and shelter. Forget about education!

The only remedy to all these problems is education. It is the one and only solution to eradicate & to fight any situation. When people are knowledgeable, then automatically, each and every sector of the country starts progressing. And side by side, the whole scenario of the country starts improving. In such a situation, other foreign countries also look upon the country with great expectations. It is a moment of great pride and self-esteem for the country.

It can be rightly said that education is the key to success. Therefore, education is a must for all and it should definitely be incorporated along with the basic needs of life. It is our right and nobody can be debarred from it.
