Thanks for your inputs.I agree that it is ...Hi all,<br />Thanks for your inputs.I agree that it is only because of the efforts of such dedicared people that we still manage to hope that all is not lost.Atleast not yet.The newspapers constantly report government schemes to educate the masses.In fact Anjalidi is involved in the project that is part of the Sarva Siksha Abhiyan - something like a 'literacy drive'. The sad part is that government funds are hard to get and even the most dedicated people tend to get frustrated.Moreover the state government grants Rs.20/- per day per student which is much less than the required amount for a growing child.So the people who get such projects give not only their time and energy but also money which may be their own or donations in the form of cash and kind from kind hearted people in their immediate circle.It is the sheer will to do something useful for socoety that gets them going.<br /><br />aathira:thanks for the link.I forwarded it to a few people who are exploring the possibility of starting something like 'gyanshala' in our small town as well.<br /><br />deepa:Thanks for the reference.will check it out.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891699611146003601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-45862156274190288252009-09-17T22:54:28.210+05:302009-09-17T22:54:28.210+05:30Yes, there is light !

She is the founder of a Hyd based NGO called M.V.Foundation which has done pioneering work in the elimination of child labour and bringing children back into schools. Her model is so successful that the Govt. of AP has adopted it as the State model for elimination of child labour and a key strategy for universalising primary education. She is also a Magsaysay awardee for the year 2004 (though I would check the year). She is now the chairperson of the National Commission on Rights of the Child.Deepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786852799531767111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-67633204664955553972009-09-16T12:47:14.696+05:302009-09-16T12:47:14.696+05:30Truly, all is not lost.Truly, all is not lost.dipalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070862196307376073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-65705293200110968212009-09-15T20:49:48.101+05:302009-09-15T20:49:48.101+05:30That is really a wonderful story HHG!

We study abroad, we want to make a better life, we want to improve our own standards of living selfishly. But we are equally inspired to go back to our country, clean up the mess that is the economy, help re-build the social system, and generally dream other such lofty dreams.<br />I have a friend who studies here with me, who wants to establish the indian equivalend of texas instruments in b'lore. I have equally ambitious ideas. But we also want to have the luxuries that our current positions and opportunities offer us - retiring at 30, enjoying cruising around the world full time. it's such a contradiction of desires.<br />We're the confused generation, looking for people who'd help us make choices :)Curry Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835415563921371790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29858077.post-11706546438835339062009-09-13T09:21:17.339+05:302009-09-13T09:21:17.339+05:30Thank you for posting this.
