IntroductionO The National Literacy Mission defines literacy

as ‘acquiring the skills of reading,

writing and arithmetic and the ability to

apply them to one’s day-to-day life’.

O According to the guidelines laid down by the

UN, Illiteracy is defined as “The inability to

read and write a simple message in any

language.”

Page 5: Illitercay - Alphabet of Ignorance

ConsequencesO Effective learning and communication in this computer age is

difficult without literacy, so is acquisition and sharing of

knowledge and information. Literacy empowers the citizens of

the country with weapons of rational thinking, liberty,

cohesiveness and mutual understanding.

O Literacy is a big force in alienating undemocratic forces and

social and economic problems like terrorism, communalism etc.

O The above two major traits are missing due to the Illiteracy

prevailing in our country even after 65 years of Independence.

How to Eradicate?O There may be many solutions to a problem

but the one with best feasibility of application in real life is the best choice.

O To form a Fraternity ( network with mutual understanding ) by gathering non – networked students who are enthusiastic to serve the nation and possessing the traits like selflessness, relentless hard work play a key role in this fraternity

FRATERNITY

Page 14: Illitercay - Alphabet of Ignorance

Competition in present scenario

O We remain in competition when we are completely aware of that.

O India is lacking in this context.O So, Indians need that awareness.O Means the people even in remote areas and

exile places would get cutting edge in competition and meet the needs of Nation.

O In this way we are transforming them as useful resources for the progress of Nation.

O With a series of articles pouring out in the newspapers

highlighting the alarming problems pertaining to pedagogy in

general and inequities in girl education in specific .

O These problems related to inequities in girl literacy and high

drop out rates are predominantly seen in government schools.

O Therefore, as part of the Seva project, it was felt imperative to

work on educating the poor children and train students in

career guidance apart from raising awareness in the plethora of

options available for higher studies.

O As part of the Seva project two schools have been identified in

the vicinities of Nachupally and training was undertaken

through night schools.

O In the midst of realizing the broader aims of education the Seva

project was initiated to leave an indelible mark in the society.

The Initiative

Page 17: Illitercay - Alphabet of Ignorance

O Primarily, the famous quotation by Nelson Mandela

“EDUCATION IS THE ONLY TOOL WITH YOU TO CHANGE

THE WORLD” inspired us to take up Education as our Seva

project.

O We decided to take a step ahead in bringing out the intellects

from the deprived part of our society, who would be the future

building blocks of our nation.

O We have adopted 2 government schools and we followed the

Scientific method of “DIAGNOSTIC TEST”, which relies on “ENTRY

LEVEL BEHAVIOUR” and “END LEVEL BEHAVIOUR” of the student.

O We have listed out all sorts of possibilities and feasible ways so

that our Seva would reach the students perfectly.

Planning

Page 18: Illitercay - Alphabet of Ignorance

O Some of the innovative ideas that were implemented are:

O Teaching English through pictures. (The students from Telugu medium

background would be benefited a lot).

O Interaction with students in order to bring out the latent talent in them.

O Teaching them ethical values with the help of stories and also short

videos.

O Career Guidance to students to make them aware of the opportunities

available to them after School Education and also raise awareness

about different professions that they are expected to do in there. This

enabled the students to set an AIM and focus on it unyieldingly.

O Collecting regular feedback from the students and also school

management in order to identify academic areas where they need

extra attention and to bridge the gap.

O Coaching class V students to face JAWAHAR NAVODAYA Exam

conducted by the Central Government all over India.

Ideas Implemented

Page 19: Illitercay - Alphabet of Ignorance

O“Education is not the filling of a

bucket, but the lighting of a fire.”

O However, whatever said and done, if two hours a week can

ensure a bright future for an illiterate child, then every citizen

must take part in this campaigning. Right now, this seems the

only way we can remove the widespread illiteracy prevalent in

India and help pave the way for a progressive Young India.

THE ONLY POSSIBLE \SOLUTION/

Page 20: Illitercay - Alphabet of Ignorance

O One of the major problems we face is lack of infrastructure. It is

not easy to create schools for our large and ever growing

population.

O Today ‘good’ schools mean expensive schools, mostly private

which most lower middle class people cannot afford. That is the

fact—every year education gets more and more expensive. It is a

vicious cycle—the more the population, the more the

unemployment, and the more the unemployment, the more

illiteracy, and the more the illiteracy, the more the population will

keep growing! We need to break this cycle somewhere.

O And like they say, nothing is impossible! If

each one of us contributes in our own way,

we can make a difference.
