Mission Heal | Eradicating illiteracy all over India.

Our lives are an interconnected series of links. Each link connects one to another. These links are­ the various issues faced by society connected either directly or indirectly. The major issue that affects us all indirectly is illiteracy. Illiteracy is the root cause of all issues. Illiteracy leads to poverty, child labor, unemployment, female foeticide, population burst and many more. Literacy determines the development of a country. Even countries like Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Thailand have shown tremendous growth in terms of the literate population. Whereas India has not utilized its resources properly to eradicate illiteracy.

It is necessary for every person to pool his resources to restore faith in the minds of the poverty stricken. Mission Heal is trying to do so by reaching out to the needy and guiding their path. With many success stories under their belt, Mission Heal is mobilizing to help more and more people along the way. Mission Heal is an NGO (Non-Government Organization) which has no political or religious background; just people from different backgrounds hoping to alleviate the current illiteracy condition in India. Along with eradicating illiteracy, they also provide resources for women’s education and are in the forefront of natural preservation.

Mission Heal works towards helping the poor and the needy any way they can. From organizing textbooks to providing the students Mid-day meals and much more. They mainly focus on providing free education for the down-trodden people of the society. They have conducted many rallies to permit free education to the poor students. The organization feels that these students have a feeling of insecurity because of the financial backgrounds and the status they have in society. Hence the organization helps to bridge the gap between the middle class and the poor class by various activities organized by them; the recent one’s include free clothes distribution, health check-up camps, free food distribution and free study material. 

The recently declared RTE has helped to alleviate the situation of the country. RTE (Right to Education) is an ACT declared by the Indian government, which allows free and compulsory education to the lower class of the society. ‘Free’ implies that the state and the central government share responsibilities for the expenses of the student ranging from uniforms to tuition fees. Such programs are instigated by NGO’s who work for the profit of the common people. 

Illiteracy is caused by various effects. Mainly it is because of poverty. BPL (Below poverty Line) families have to send their children on errands to fulfill their basic needs which in-turn reduces the probability of the child getting a formal education. These families also expose their children in child labor. Another reason for illiteracy is because of the peer and friend circle. Wrong advice from peers and friends regarding education may send the child down the path of illiteracy.

 Eradicating illiteracy will help in making the child responsible and he will have a glimpse of the outside world. It will also rationalize his decisions. It is our duty to work towards this goal for the development of the country and the betterment of the society. So we all should support the noble cause of Mission Heal.

Mission Heal | Eradicating illiteracy from the society

With over a billion population, India is one of the biggest country in the world. But it is sad to notice that a huge margin of the population lies beneath the ‘below poverty line’. While the population goes on increasing, the ‘below poverty line’ population increases. It is of prime importance to do something about it. Many NGO’s have collaborated to face this situation. These people are basically trying to improve the lives of the poor people in India. Mission Heal is an NGO that tries to reach out to the poor through various camps and activities.

Mission Heal is based in Delhi and has no religious or political background. Their sole objective is to empower women and children with education. To do this, the Mission Heal conducts various camps like free health check-up camps and donation of books to the poor children. Clothes are also donated for this purpose.  Midday meals are also provided for the hungry. Such activities restore the faith of the poor in the system. Mission Heal has also voiced its concern for free education to the poor. Along with child education, Mission Heal also works towards woman empowerment as well as protection of the ecosystem.

The government has also heard the cries of Mission Heal for providing free education to the under-privileged children by passing the RTE (Right to Education) bill which allows every poor child the right of free education. The burden of the fees of the under-privileged children is taken upon by the state and central governments. Such reforms have provided scope for the poor students.

The sole financers of Mission Heal are the generous people of India who want to make a change in country’s society. Although generous donations are gratefully accepted, NGO’s like Mission Heal want people to participate in these projects. They want people to have a helping hand and share in the joy of giving. 

It is a known fact that the condition of the poor people in India is very harsh. Young children of poor families are forced into hard labor or they resort to rag-picking and newspaper distribution and lose the prospect of education along the way. These parents are not reluctant to force their children into such a way of life because of the need for money. Along with this, improper friends make the situation worse. The wrong set of friends creates a wrong image of the school to the youngsters. It is of paramount importance that such misconceptions be cleared from the child’s mind before he/she joins the school. Clearing these misconceptions from a child’s mind is necessary before he/she joins the school. Mission Heal helps young children grow an affiliating nature towards schooling.

Looking at the above consequences it is our duty as citizens to help these down-trodden people with what we can. Stepping down from our social and family duties, we need to look out for others who were not so fortunate enough. By helping them to improve their socioeconomic condition we are not only helping them but also our country.

Mission Heal | Empowering the down-trodden with the tools of education

India is a developing economy. But as per the statistics a huge percentage of India’s population consists of illiterate people. These people usually comprise of the lower-caste, tribals as well as  people with poverty-stricken backgrounds. The major reason for their illiteracy is the background from which they descend. For example, the poor families discourage their children from education and send them on errands to make ends meet. Another example is of the low-caste. These people are denied education; directly or indirectly. Banning children from entering schools is a direct way of denying children the right to education whereas demoralizing a child will prevent him from joining school which can be classified as an indirect way. Tribes usually live their lives by depending on the nature. They do not possess the power of giving their children the luxury of an education. They are helpless when it comes to these matters. It is necessary to alleviate the current situation of illiteracy in India.

What are the various outcomes that emanate from illiteracy? One sure thing is poverty. Poverty again leads to illiteracy, which then turns into a vicious cycle. Superstitions or false beliefs are another result of illiteracy. Then comes one of the most important trait the country needs; rational thinking. Uneducated Indians often succumb to misconceptions and rumors without taking a pause to think. These are the people that disrupt the existing system by causing violence, instigating riots or becoming bad elements of the society. It is necessary to contain this situation before it increases.

Who has helped to create awareness and helped in educating the masses around them. It has been the NGO’s all along. With the use of their limited resources they have created awareness of the need for education for one and all. Mission Heal is one such dedicated organization which helps in educating the illiterate children of India. They restore the faith of those little ones by empowering them with the most important tool for life: Education. Based in Delhi, this NGO has mobilized itself into small groups to reach out to all the needy and desperate people. The main objective of Mission Heal is to eradicate illiteracy from society by teaching the under-privileged may it be children or women. It is important to understand that Mission Heal accepts help from the government as well as civilians, but it neither has any political or religious backgrounds.

NGO’s around the world have comprehended the need for curbing the disease of illiteracy that has enveloped our society. Literate women possess the ability to think logically and hence act as responsible mothers and wives. Likewise, educated children can free their family from the shackles of poverty and distraught. Governments too acted upon this issue by declaring the RTE which provides free education to all under-privileged children. It is necessary for all of us to contribute to this cause either in monetary terms or acts of deed. Helping this cause will not only improve the standard of living of our fellow Indians but also build a better future for India.
