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.
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.
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.
What is a nation when its children lay in poverty and are illiterate? It is a known fact that illiteracy is the root cause of the other ailments caused to the society. Poverty, riots, alcohol and drug consumption as well as superstitions take birth because of illiteracy and lack of education. Lack of education leads to people thinking irrationally. Logic and reason escape them. These are the people instigating communal and political riots. It is necessary to curb these inadequacies of society by creating awareness in the society regarding the need for education for both women and children. Eradicating the society of illiteracy will reduce half the nation’s problems. The nation can then direct its resources for other needs of the society.
Various government organizations and NGO’s are working towards this project. Mission Heal is an NGO which has diverted all its energy towards educating young women as well as children. They believe in women's literacy because it wants to free them from the shackles women are bound in; giving them career options as well as fortifying their knowledge on being a better parent. Mission Heal also helps young children by organizing various events to guide them on the righteous path. Mission Heal also helps in environmental protection through its various activities. It is also necessary to know that Mission Heal is an NGO without any political or any religious backgrounds.
Mission Heal leads by setting examples to other NGO’s. It has split into many groups to reach farther to people. Mission Heal has organized free Medical Camps as well donation of books for the poor. They also organize free midday meals for the needy. Clothes are also distributed to these children. Mission Heal asks the support of all of us for supporting this cause. Donations are gladly accepted. Personal help is also a way you can add to this organization.
We, the educated people of India should understand the consequences of illiteracy. But what causes people to hesitate to learn and grow. There are various reasons why children drop out of school or why the attrition rate is so high. Poverty and family background is the main reason for this. Poverty restrains families to sending children for schooling. These children later turn out to become not what they could have been if luck had been on their side. Similarly the family background of the potential student matters. If he comes from a family that is reluctant to send him from schooling then it is difficult for that child to gain a formal education. Poverty is linked to such a kind of family background in many cases. Women, on the other hand, are suppressed from getting educated, which occurs mainly in the rural areas. Literacy for the interested women is necessary for them to understand and take control of the situations around them. After all, education is for one and all.
So is it not time to help the people who are in need? Our passive behavior will affect the society and nation. It is time to give back to the people who need it.
There is a growing need for the people of India to address the need for the literacy of population in India. The population of India is growing day-by-day. Along with the population growth, there is a constant rise of illiterate people. Measures have to be taken to curb the growth of illiterate people. Preventive measures have to be taken to contain this epidemic illiteracy. Government has passed bills like RTE (Right to Education) to reduce the levels of illiteracy in India. But it is also our job to participate in activities like campaigning and creating awareness for education in the country
Mission Heal is an NGO (Non-Government Organization) that has bought about reformation in the society. This organization is based in Delhi and has disintegrated into smaller groups to help the society. This organization has helped in organizing various events like free health camps, donation of books and clothes as well as providing midday meals for the poor. Various special cases like educating a child are taken up by Mission Heal to accomplish. Mission Heal helps people irrespective of caste, since it has no affiliations with any religion or government. They have also been in the forefront for voicing the needs for free education for children. The government has responded to their claims by passing the RTE which allows free education for all the under-privileged students by taking up the burden of the fees and books onto their shoulders. Prioritizing women-education has also been one of the agendas of Mission Heal. Along with children and women's education, environment protection has also been an objective for the NGO.
It is proud to notice that along with the support of the government, numerous other individuals have contributed towards Mission Heal in various ways. Donations as well personal help has been offered to Mission Heal. This NGO is glad to welcome any new member. With the growing number of illiterate cases in India and very few NGO’s available, helping the poverty stricken class has become tough. This concern is clearly voiced out by Mission Heal and they are in dire need of new members to support them.
What is the cause leading to illiteracy? Well, the main reason for illiteracy is poverty. Poverty makes people do the things that they would not have imagined. Poverty creates fear, hunger and illiteracy. The lower class people send their small children to work to make ends meet. These situations blind the child from the prospect of education. The next reason is family background. In most cases the family itself is illiterate so how can it guide the children.
These are the reasons worked on by the NGO’s. Manipulating the child’s mind to show him the righteous path is their main objective. Once the child has a passion to learn and get educated, he will automatically start learning even without the guidance of anyone.
So it is the duty of all citizens to help poor children for the nation’s future rests on them.
India is the land of culture and knowledge. The Vedas have substantiated that India is one of the oldest countries where knowledge first sprung from. Although we have such facts that not only bring gratification, but pride to India why have we fallen behind in educating the under-privileged? The only prevailing reason is our ego and caste-system. Our ego will never let us help anybody we consider below our caliber and our caste will deny us permission in reaching out to the needy and under-privileged. It is necessary to overcome these barriers with determination to help the poor and needy people.Even after decades of learning from our mistakes, many rural families are reluctant in letting the girl child get educated. But it is of peak importance that the girl child be educated because one day that girl will become a parent and she should be educated enough to understand her responsibility as a parent and a wife. Also education opens up various career options for her. A literate girl is no longer bound to the prospect of becoming a housewife. She has the ability and confidence to chase her own dreams. Several NGO’s across the country are chasing this dream; providing essential education to the women of this society. Mission Heal is one such organization that provides a great platform for women empowerment and free education for all. Mission Heal is based in Delhi and has active participation in voicing its claims for free education. The NGO has no affiliations with political or any religious backgrounds and works for the sole betterment of the society.Mission Heal organizes various camps for the underprivileged to show their concern towards them. Camps for free medical checkups, donation of books as well as providing midday meals are some of the activities undertaken by Mission Heal. Clothes are also donated to the needy. Such camps restore faith in the under-privileged and show them that there is a chance for them leading a better life. It also brings a smile across the faces of those children filled with contentment. These small deeds can change the attitude of the society. Mission Heal tries to set an example for the people to contribute towards the society. Mission Heal wants all of us to contribute to the cause. It expects our favors in donations or by our deeds. Like all NGO’s they want to free people from their shackles of poverty and illiteracy and expect us to join the cause so that we can take pride in what we have done. Also, as many hands join the cause the faster we will accomplish it. No matter the difficulties we face the common man has to step down from his social and family duties to help his society and country eradicate the disease that has made the lives of so many people miserable. It is only when we pool our resources together as well work under one banner can we cast away the threat illiteracy poses towards our society.
In
many societies, women are neglected, discriminated, violated and left
dejected. A baby girl is regarded as a bad omen to many Indian
households. This has led to cases of infanticide that has led to loss of
millions of female children in the country. What then needs to be done?
The government may be trying their best to make life worth living for
women, but the road is still not clear as more violations are reported
on a daily basis. On championing for women's rights in
the country and making their lives better, Mission Heal has come out to
ensure all women are accorded their rightful places in the society.
This is ensured through the following ways;
Promoting equality through education
Education is a great asset to any child today, no matter the gender. For that reason, Mission Heal has embarked in support girl-child education
besides free education for all so as to empower the female with skills
and knowledge that will come in handy when needed later in life. Mission
Heal has even gone ahead to offer special scholarships for needy girls
in the society to ensure they complete their education and get ready for
the tasks ahead in their lives. Supplying school girls with sanitary
pads has also ensured that the girls retain their respect and hygiene
while in school and even outside.
Empowering women through vocational trainings
There are many women who are past the school going age, but still active and strong to take part in societal development.
This does not mean that they are useless towards community development.
Through Mission Heal, several vocational training centers have been
opened up to ensure all women get essential knowledge and skills that
will enable them to earn a living. Such skills as tailoring and weaving
have enabled many women in the society earn a living and contribute
immensely towards societal development.
Financial support
Many women are left stranded because they lack the resources to get them going in life. Through this initiative by Mission Heal,
many women have managed to get their lives on track by borrowing money
at no interest to start their own businesses which have in turn helped
them live a better quality life and besides contribute towards societal
development.
Sensitizing women
Mission Heal organizes
for summer camps to sensitize women on the need to become self reliant
and sufficient. This may sound as mere words given to the women
attendants, but the effect goes a long way to change the society for the
better. In such camps, women are also sensitized on their own rights
and how to report cases of violation of the rights. The need for girl-child education, equality, women's rights and several others are aired during such camps.
In order for India to achieve social-economic development,
the society needs to liberate all women so that they can also
contribute towards societal development among other things. As the
saying goes, “what a man can do, a woman can do even much better”. Let’s
all join hands with Mission Heal to support and liberate our women so that we can together change the society for the better.
