EDUCATION - THE ELIXIR TO ALL OUR MALADIES

It is extremely difficult to talk about education without sounding repetitive or appearing imitative. Yet it seems that all the bygone efforts were insufficient and it is the need of the hour that we all mobilize our energies to create greater awareness about the importance of education. In fact it is not awareness that we need but solutions to our daunting problems in education. Considering the complexities of our maladies it is naive talking about 'an elixir'. But one can justifiably argue that however complex be the composition of that 'elixir to all our maladies', education would be its base ingredient. We can no longer afford illiteracy and poor education as its impacts are becoming direct and enormously wide in range. Issues that will get affected spans from political choices to class asymmetries to economy of the nation. In order to unleash the latent potential in our human resources we have no better key than education. If we have to realize the Indian dream we will have to destroy the darkness of ignorance with the lamp of education.
