Call to promote literacy
Staff Reporter
"NGOs should play a significant role in creating awareness among the rural masses''

NEW DELHI: The Haryana Governor, A.R. Kidwai, said on Saturday that the non-government organisations (NGOs) should play a significant role in creating awareness among the rural masses so that they could address the problems of illiteracy and poverty.

Speaking on the occasion of release of a magazine brought out by the NGO, The Bridge, Dr. Kidwai said every citizen and the elite of society has the responsibility to awaken the 75 per cent people of the country residing in rural areas if the target of total literacy was to be achieved.

Lamenting the fact that 58 years after Independence, the vision of 100 per cent literacy in the country was still a distant dream, Dr. Kidwai urged everybody to follow the idea of "each-one-teach-one". He also called upon the elite of the society to build bridges between haves and have not's so that the benefits of various government programmes and schemes could reach to each and everyone in an effective manner.

Dr. Kidwai said the country had great potential to compete in the field of software exports, automobiles, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.

New Delhi, September 17
Haryana Governor Dr A.R. Kidwai has said that non-governmental organisations should create awareness among rural masses against illiteracy.

Releasing in-house magazine of The Birdge, a NGO, and launching its website here today, he said that relatively well-off sections of society also had a responsibility to bring prosperity and happiness in the lives of those suffering from poverty.

Dr Kidwai said Mahatma Gandhi was of the strong opinion that rural education was essential for accelerating the pace of development of the country. He said the country had immense potential to compete in the field of software exports, automobiles and bio-technology and pharmaceuticals.
