Illiteracy

Illiteracy refers to the inability of a person to read and write. It is a major cause of prevailing poverty and ignorance among a large section of Indian community.

There are many people who have never had the opportunity to go in for formal education, mostly due to poverty and sometimes due to an indifferent family background.

Education and literacy injects determination and will-power in a student to achieve what he want. Such confident students become successful in their endeavors.
