India is a country where a major part of the population still does not have access to a very basic right called education. Why can we not adopt a teach India model - Akin Singapore which makes it mandatory for every citizen to go for a military training, we too should seriously make it a mandate for every literate graduate to spend atleast 1-2 weeks every 2 years to teach in rural and urban schools. These graduates acting as faculty would definitely help in education of the masses and to speed up the process of living a better life. Such people could be then given some brownie points (for example…a certificate of appreciation from HRD after completion of 3 such interventions?)..... We cannot be dependent on the Government for everything. As a responsible citizen we have to give back to this civil society. It should be part of our DNA.
Infact the ‘Teach India’ campaign launched by Times of India has already given us an excellent opportunity to try out such a thing.
