Who am I? Where do I stand? What am I doing? Do I have a place , a position in the society to which I belong? Am I right or am I wrong? Should I or shouldn’t I? These are some of the common questions constantly nagging especially the youngsters of today’s generation. Everybody is striving for success and prosperity in our human society.

And to make a name, an identity for oneself, it is very much essential to be a well-educated human being. When a person is educated; dignity, name and fame would follow subsequently.
A literate is always looked upon, stated high rank, position and status and is praised in the society. Whereas an illiterate is always looked down at in the society. It is said that if a woman is educated , then automatically her whole house-hold is educated. If a person is educated, then he/she will serve the society in a far better manner than an illiterate.
