How much importance you give to Literacy?

As the old saying goes "Knowledge is power" I truly believe that. With knowledge you can achieve anything you desire.

"if a male is getting education, one individual is educated, if a female is getting education THE WHOLE FAMILY GETS EDUCATION.... "

You hit it right on the button, and I agree with you completely.

well an illiterate person really is a person with no ideas and no innovation he is hardly any use to the community thats why education is the best policy...

Who doesn't agree? It's pretty simple, really. To not kill each other, we just have to communicate a little better, get on the same plane, be literate. In terms of the development of countries, a natural prioirity is to make sure that the masses are being educated for better self sustainment, and in an increasingly globalized (and mostly westernized) world, literacy and education are to assume even greater importance. We live in the information age, and success in this era will require education, with very few exceptions. However, a strong will or great love could surely overcome the lack of an education. Live, learn and love. learning is one part of the motto.
