It is said that ‘Education is the key to successes.’ The importance of education can only be understood when it is compared to the urban and rural areas. As we can see in the urban areas, people are more smart and independent and they feel themselves capable enough for making important decisions in life. They make decisions for the betterment of overall human development and also economical development. The possibilities of success rate increases through one’s learning capabilities and success can only be gained through education. Education is considered to be the means for the better living of one’s life. Education foundations and NGO’s in India are working towards the education for children so that they can live their life happily. They are working towards raising awareness between people to make them understand the importance of education in overall shaping of their lives.
It can be seen that, almost 65 years are passed after our country’s independence and still India is struggling with the low literacy ratio. And mostly it is seen in rural areas. And this is the only reason for why India is facing many problems such as poverty and backwardness. It is estimated that more than 65% of the total population still lives in rural areas and are mostly dependent on agriculture and animal raring for the means of livelihood. The role of education foundation and NGOs is as follows:
- There are many children who are not able to go the school because there is no school near their houses. And in such cases, members of the NGOs or Education Foundation reach out to these children and give them education at home.
- In rural areas, many families are not in a state to afford expenses of schooling and thus, they are not able to send them to school. In such cases, financial support is being provided by the education foundation and thus supports the family.
- It can be seen that most girls are not able to attend school because of improper sanitation facilities. They take responsibility and provide proper sanitation to the schools.
