Literacy literally means to be educated i.e. to have alphabetical knowledge. In simple words, literacy means having the ability to read and write. In today’s world it is inevitable for every person to be literate. Without education any success is impossible. In today’s time, the medium of knowledge has become so much that one can study even sitting at home.
The illiterate person remains deprived of all these facilities. Like Kupmandup, he remains engrossed in his own little world. He remains completely cut off from the real world. He is neither able to use his democratic rights nor can he use the facilities. Today it has become mandatory for a person to be literate. Illiteracy has become a vice.
That’s why nowadays everyone wants to read and write. All kinds of efforts are made by both the government and the society. So that in today’s time no citizen is deprived of education due to lack of facilities. Schools have been opened in every Basti locality. Efforts are being made to provide education till that last child of the society. Only then can the curse of illiteracy be eradicated in India.
When everyone came forward and spread awareness among people about education. If through these programs of Literacy Day, every Indian can connect with education in the 21st century, then this campaign will be a great achievement. Not being literate of citizens of any country is the biggest misfortune of that country. For advanced development, there should be a system of modern education. On the other hand, if people are far from even alphabetical knowledge, then nothing can be said about that country and society.
Education has a direct impact on the growth rate of the nation. The country where most of its citizens are educated, the country moves fast on the path of progress. Keeping in view the importance of literacy in the world, UNESCO, the educational scientific and cultural organization of UNO, on 17 November 1965, it was decided to celebrate World Literacy Day on 8 September every year. World Literacy Day was organized for the first time in the year 1966 itself.
In real terms, education does not mean just by being educated. Rather, the meaning of education is also related to awareness. We should contribute in the development work of our society and country by reading and writing, only then we have the value of being educated in the true sense. Today our country is going through all the problems like poverty, superstition, carelessness towards health. The only solution for which is education. We can remove such evils from the society by promoting literacy.
In literacy figures, even after 74 years of independence, women’s education, rural education system, very low level of education in most backward societies (Muslim community) can be seen even today. As a result, the entire Indian society and country has to bear the brunt of this.
All those people should be aware of education who have not been able to join it yet. Properly received education not only gives knowledge to the person but also makes them capable of doing job and business in a good way.
Governments have tried to attract people’s attention to this through attractive themes on Literacy Day organized every year. In the last few years, the theme of Literacy Day was kept as follows.
Many times one thinks, can all people be educated? Yes, the government has run many welfare schemes to promote the literacy program.
