Living in the bustling towns and cities in
India, we’ve often wondered “What if I had got a chance to study in XYZ school?
My life would have been so different!” It is we who have understood the value
of imparting and receiving education to our children to make them better
people. We try to make eligible citizens out of our children and give them a
respectable place in our society. But what about those people who have been
left ignored all along? In regions where starvation deaths have haunted the
people since a long time, what value does education hold for them? Is it any
good to preach to people with empty stomachs?
