ADULT EDUCATION
Respected Chairperson, distinguished guest and dear friends!
Education provides all-round development of our - personality body, mind and soul. Unfortunately, a vast number of our population remain uneducated. The rate of school drop-outs is increasing fast. To overcome the ever-increasing number of illiterates Adult Education programs have been launched by the Ministry of Education. Many voluntary and social organization have also come forward to render service.
The National Literacy Mission is an organization engaged in Adult Education. It has helped to eradicate illiteracy in India to a great extent. School and college students can also help in the noble mission. They can offer voluntary service during their free period, that is, vacation. They can organize adult literacy classes in their streets or villages. It is hoped that these educated villagers will prove helped in the development of the nation. Education will give them awareness and knowledge. They will gain information, dignity and self-respect. They will become good citizens of the nation. They will become free from the social bondage, exploitation and humiliation. Education will not remain ornamental. It will become a part of their personality.
Thank you. ###
Donate Your Old clothes for Noble Cause
Recently, we have heard the news about floods in one section of our country and an earthquake hitting another part of the country. Both natural disasters have caused wide- scale destruction. Thousands of people have been rendered houseless and stranded in rescue camps.
We buy a lot of clothes throughout the year. And if we notice, a good amount of clothes lie untouched in our wardrobes. Why dump them when there are millions of underprivileged people in this world struggling to get enough bread to live for the next day, enough rag to cover themselves away from humiliation and enough shelter that promises them some hope for tomorrow. Don't dump, rather donate old clothes. There are so many victims of floods and earthquakes whose future can be made by giving your small donation of old clothes. The best way to tidy any clothes and shoe collection is through donating.
Donating is an essential and transparent way to help needy people. This is where you can donate your valuable used clothes to victims of floods and earthquakes in different parts of the country. Our school is raising an initiative towards second-hand clothes collection, medicine collection so that we can also contribute to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund. I urge all of you to be a part of this noble cause.
