That’s the mission I aspire to acheive to contribute to social responsibility. I think it will be immensely beneficial if I can somehow build a process and a coalition to enable teaching the english language to atleast 100,000 people.
It is a worthwhile mission because it will allow individuals a foot in the globalised world. It is far more important in this age and time because of the availability of technology that can easily provide accessibility to internet on mobiles – the most widespread medium of communication in India. If we can all somehow learn english , we can be the biggest content contributor globally. This will allow us to shape world opinion the way we see things, and hence close cultural ties with the world. Ultimately, leading to more and more jobs and a brighter economic future.
Secondly, I think the fact a large proportion of population would be educated – it would bring sense into our democratic system. The other day I was going through a forwarded email about the education qualifications and criminal records of our parliamentarians. I was saddened to see that more than 20 percent of the strength of the house had criminal records and the educational qualifications were also not something to be really proud of. It is also sad to see that people who have been uneducated have not led their community to education and a bright future. However, I resigned myself to an apathetic attitude – thinking that the leaders are representatives of their voters. If the voters, want such leaders than they should be there. I think the reason for existense of such kind of leaders is the prevailing scarcity for everything (security, education, healthcare facilities, infrastructure, etc.) leading people to elect those who can arm twist their way to snatch some proportion of the scarce pie for their constituency members. With education and proper laws things can change and better governance will be provided as it will be difficult to fool and divideople.
