We all know that parents get their children educated in schools, make them learned, and prepare them for their future. But, do you know that sometimes kids, some really thoughtful kids can also make their illiterate parents literatewith their efforts.
16,000 adults have been made literate within around two years by eight- standard students in the 200 villages of Latehar district of Jharkhand state in India.
Latehar district was infamous for naxalite activities. The government's basic facilities of health, sanitization, and education could not be implemented there in the 720 villages of the district. Government records say that 1.20 lac adults are illiterate there. But now the scene is changing. Adult Literacy Campaign, which had been discontinued since 2018, has now been resurrected by a largem number of eight-standard students at 600 localities in 200 villages in the district.
The change-making students take literacy classes for their parents in their school premises for 2 hours every day, after their own classes, for 5 days a week.
The concerned students either press or impress their parents to come and join the literacy classes and become vigilant literate citizens so that they themselves can acquire the benefits of several government welfare schemes and no one can befool them due to their lack of education and awareness.
These Teen Harbingers of Knowledge are trying hard to spread the light of education in all the 720 villages of the Latehar district of the Jharkhand state. As they say that 120 hours of learning can make an adult literate for their lifetime, so my teen friends, across the world, can you become the torch-bearers of knowledge to eliminate the stigma of illiteracy? And make this world a better place to live for every human on the face of the earth.
