She said,” Literate women are a key to socio-economic progress. We must understand the consequences of not educating our girl child. When a woman is not educated then it not only affects her but the entire family and in turn entire nation. An educated woman can be a better human being, a successful mother and a responsible citizen. Educating women results in promoting self-respect and also helps in raising the status of women. An educated woman will be aware of her rights. She can fight against social evils.”

Literacy can’t be achieved in a day or a month but each step in the direction of making all literate counts. Being outwardly and inwardly literate is THE focus of DJJS’s endeavour to establish world peace. Let’s all strive to make India literate.
