We need to nurture this vast and precious human capital by making it a focal point of our planning and development process. Encompassing the needs, rights and expectations of youth to the Centre stage of development should be our priority. Every child in our country should be allowed to blossom, especially those who are not fortunate. If we achieve this target, then every child will become an asset for national development.


Why is it essential to enlighten the third category of families in our villages?


        India has a vast population that can be divided into three categories. The first, the fortunate ones who are economically sound and realize the importance of good education. The second category is the one who realizes the importance of education but does not have adequate sources. Adequate knowledge to tap their intelligence at the right time and the third category who are economically weak and do not realize the value of education and hence for generations their children are neglected and live in poverty. According to Dr. Kalam, a majority of India’s population falls under this category from the rural areas and from the urban poor. It is essential they are enlightened and given an opportunity to come out from their shackles and prove themselves to the world their capability. Unfortunately, there is about 35% drop out after 5th class and 55% after 8th class. This situation has to be changed.
