A
Literate Nation speaks of its Culture and Prosperity. It is a pity that the evil of illiteracy in
our country has lead to lack of social awareness among our people leading to
their exploitation by most sections of our society. I believe in the concept of `each one teach
one` and it takes less than six months to turn an illiterate into a literate
who can read and write. More than Adult illiteracy the Child
illiteracy could pose a very difficult situation for the society and its
overall health. We are a country with
extreme diversity with scores of castes, languages and dialects and Literacy
would be the only medium to unite the country and appraise every citizen about
what is happening around him.
I
have seen Dr. Venkatesh, the author of this book working to set up various
Adult Literacy Centres, in remote centres, needs to be emulated and supported.
I am sure this book brought out by Dr. Venkatesh would help every agency
involved in eradicating illiteracy, raise their hopes and meet the challenge.
