President Pranab Mukherjee today emphasised on stepping up efforts toward complete eradication of illiteracy from the country with enhanced focus on improving literacy rate among SC, ST, minorities and disadvantaged sections of the society. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu today said he wants the state to be a &#8221; digital A.P. &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Still now when we visit the insides of West Bengal, Bihar, e.t.c. , and other rural places we still see lots of people,who are brilliant enough but can&#8217;t get the proper education due to lack of money and proper infrastructure.It is because of a not getting a proper chance thousands of brilliant youth are still unemployed.Though they have the urge they can&#8217;t because they don&#8217;t get a proper chance .In-spite of several projects and plans made by the Indian government like &#8220;Sarbyo Shikhya Avijan&#8221; in reality nothing seems to happened in reality for the common masses. Mizoram&#8217;s government has already proved its essence by making an overall literacy rate of 91.33%.Thus it means that if the State and Central government really wants to do so they surely have the power to completely eradicate this evil from the face of the country and make India really a powerful face in the world.<\/p>\n<p>So, can&#8217;t we make amends to help our brothers in need.So here today we ask the government to take some \u00a0more steps and help its own citizens, and to prove that India is not just any country but it has the power to be one in the very best in the world!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vskills.in\/certification\/certifications\">Click here for government certifications<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Literacy is the key factor in the socio economic progress of an country.India too like a developing country is striving in order to achieve its financial and structural progress.After China India is the second country \u00a0with the greatest manpower in the face of the Earth, so we can we achieve \u00a0anything easily.However to get it&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1188,"featured_media":29844,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1560],"tags":[3482,3480,1820,3481,1678],"class_list":["post-29821","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arbit","tag-curse","tag-illeteracy","tag-india","tag-unemploymnet","tag-youth"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Illiteracy a curse... - Vskills Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Illiteracy a curse... a hurdle in development Apply for a Vskills certification now.
