Abstract

India is a young country that dreams for its youth. This country after getting independence from the colonial rule for hundreds of years, has adopted democracy as a form of government. Democracy which is alive in its very form in India, believes in giving independence to the people with a belief that the foundation of a representative democracy is an informed and educated electorate. But India being the most diverse country, has a vast part of the multitude as illiterate and living below the poverty line. And if the people are not educated, then this independence would be of no use. The only tool which can be used for the upliftment and progress of such diverse communities is education. In other words, education and educated citizens is the pre-condition for enjoyment of the right, understand its content and importance. Without education, the Society cannot progress, its citizens cannot grow and a nation cannot excel.
