Akshaya Patra

India is now planning a trip to the moon, but is not able to provide even the rudimentary facilities to nearly half the population of India living below the poverty line.We can be proud of our eminent scientists, great educational institutions like IITs, IIMs. But how far has it made a difference in the life of a common man. This is not to say that they have benefitted none. With such a black scenario, how can we expect an enlightened India?
All these doesn't mean that India does not have necessary facilities to provide to its men. The rootcause is it is not distributed in equal measures to all people. In a nutshell, there are regional imbalances.
What not the problems the poor face..!! They live a life of dark interlude of distress and deprivation. Unemployment, hunger, homelessness, disease, malnutrition...it really makes me faint while thinking about it..just think about their situation..?? They don't even have the provision of elementary education. The main problem with them is that they are illiterates. They remain ignorant and get trapped in the nets of wicked.
EDUCATION IS A COMPANION WHICH NO MISFORTUNE CAN DEPRESS, NO CRIME CAN DESTROY, NO ENEMY CAN ALIENATE, NO DEPOTISM CAN ENSLAVE.
 It is always said that one would feel the real pain and difficulty of other person only when one experiences it.
 We would understand the difficulty of blind when we remain without opening our eyes for one full day. Remain without speaking, you would feel the grief of dumb. Just remain a day without food, you would understand the true meaning of poverty. 
Food is an essential prerequisite for life. For rich and poor alike a certain amount of food is necessary to keep the body in good condition. At this juncture, I feel proud to say about the Akshaya patra foundation. It is a NGO providing free lunch for all poor students all over the world. I feel proud to use this blog for a noble cause. 
Read about this foundation here :  http://www.akshayapatra.org/

People should render yeoman's service to ameliorate the lot of their poor  brethren. India can then surely attain its true halo of prominence.

     "No child in India shall be deprived of education because of hunger."

i appreciate your concern about the children of india....you might be happy to know that now .RIGHT TO EDUCATION is included in the fundamental rights of Indian COnstitution (Article 21a) and enforced from 1.4.2010, and it says government should provide free and compulsory education to all children between between age of 6-14...good thought though..i liked your write
