India is a land of villages and most of its population is illiterate. In many villages there are no schools or teaching facilities. Thus, villagers don't get an opportunity to learn. Poverty and ignorance have deprived them of becoming literate.     They don't even know how to write their name or recognize the alphabet. The villagers are bound by the superstitions and it is necessary to remove these beliefs from their minds. Therefore, it becomes the duty of the youth to render their services to them by teaching them. They can give their valuable advice and guidance to educate them. The government has also started a campaign 'Each one, Teach one' to facilitate the learning program for the illiterates. So anyone who wants to participate in this campaign can get their names enrolled.   I think it is a very good initiative from the govern...

Moreover there are cases of deafness, ins...
