Not an accident, not a privilege But a RIGHT

UNESCO mentions that Basic education should not be an accident of circumstance, nor as a privilege, but as a RIGHT.

The very sense of argument, “why Primary Education and safe childhood is vital for our country and society” is preposterous. It’s analogues to the argument that why a bird teaches its new born to fly or to sing or in more human relevance why a father/mother asks his toddler to hold their fingers in his first walk on his feet.

What will happen if both human as well as bird/animal don’t teach and assist their newborn? Will the society and acts around them remain same?

We often talk about Social responsibilities (SR). But we forget that every social responsibility is nothing but collection of Individual responsibilities (IR). Why to talk about CSR, it’s more relevant to talk about ISR. After all it’s individual who has to come forward and form a society from his acts.

We as a group believe that one thing that has potential to change the future of an underprivileged child is right education. But in order to ensure proper education and childhood for these children, we need to deal with many other factors around it. This is where holistic rehabilitation plays a role. Until we ensure parallel resolution or relief for the problems of an underprivileged family and their livelihood, the talk of proper education for their children will not be pragmatic.

Does our system have plans for more practical approach for this holistic rehabilitation?

Answer is YES, indeed. Initiatives such as NREGA, ICT and many others if implemented properly have potential to achieve this.

Perhaps what we need is public awareness about these initiatives. Because the people who suffer are the one who are unaware of these plans. We need to come forward and reach this section of society and help them to get their RIGHT.

Together we can make this possible. So come, March and Unite with us to make a difference in the society and save the bright future of a child and thus our nation.
