As you pointed out there are many more things that need to be accomplished in addition to education. However, the fact that most of us seem to miss is that we cannot pick one thing as our starting point.. be it education or health or income generation... Everything is interrelated.. Take a family of 5 from any of an Indian village. The first thing that comes to my mind is that they do not have enough earning.. so they send children to work.. so they are uneducated.. living hand to mouth lives they cannot afford any of health, etc. They are poor because there are not many jobs or there is not enough water for irrigation and the govt. does not have any programs to employ them. So the problems are all interrelated. One NGO alone cannot bring this development in all of India.. however we can build upon it. We can start with integrated development in one village.. like the one started by Association for India's Development called Hundred Block Plan. Start a health awareness, education, income generation programs all in parallel. That will bring about marked difference in the lives. Again, we cannot implement the same program all over India, but it is a good starting point. Brunda ps: I volunteer with Asha for Education and Association for India's Development. Hi,
