Education is key to prosperity. Getting it right is a challenge for rural areas & urban poor. Along with other important policy areas, education is the single most transformative thing lawmakers can do for a country today. You don’t get to be a first world country without minimum level of education. And if you want to stay in top rank and consistent growth, you gonna have to think about how you gonna educate the next generation of children to a far higher quality in a far better way. Teachers quality is crucial in achieving this. Good educators are integral to the future of our country. Lifelong learning is also hugely important. Learning through life is going to become more important because you have to unlearn and relearn in a rapidly changing world of your future prospects.

Children should be also taught about the values where there is sharing, caring and respect. When they are successful, they should be inspired to help the underprivileged.

By high school, low income students falls way behind in literacy and their dropout rate is higher compared to high income students. Kids just want to know if we care about them. They have the dreams, they have the aspirations. They just want to know that someone cares. We need to improve education support programs for struggling students whose grades have been fallen due to hardships outside school. We should also focus on emotional support and career services to the whole family including their parents. The extra support can turn a child’s life around. So us as adults, we have a responsibility to not let these kids down. Not all kids will become super stars, but it gives them an opportunity to follow their passion and dream in life.

“I know these kids, basically more than they know themselves. I have walked the same streets. I went through the same emotions, the good, the bad, the adversity— the drugs, the violence — everything they are going through as kids. I know the ups, the downs, I know everything that they dream about. I know all the night mares they have because I have been there. I Know”

What we don’t realize, because we don’t think about it — Is these kids they are not in school and they don’t have an understanding, they dont have a grip on their lives and their future, their mentality is they tend to think that the world doesnt care about them. So its so easy for them to be vulnerable to extremists who come and say ‘the world doesn’t care about you. Here is a gun, lets go shoot them’. And this is a whole generation that is vulnerable.

Our aim is to train thousands of rural youth not just in job skills. We are mentally conditioning them. We will run workshops and digital literacy programs where we teach a “value system.” Many of the village youth are influenced by certain “bad habits,” including drugs, violence, local heroism, divisive politics, superstitions etc. They’ve been listening to communal politics & fake news from corrupt people for too long. “We take all best practices available to fight against such bad influences and increase parental and youth awareness on the importance of education, social harmony and self sustainability.

In recent years, youth unemployment and the population of youth-at-risk have grown significantly in rural areas. This has resulted in boom of orphanages & care homes, many of which run as a business to exploit vulnerable people to raise money. Think twice before visiting an orphanage. Focus on grass root development programs for village families and urban poor. Help us keep children safe.
