A dialogue between two friends about illiteracy eradication.
Rima : Hello Rupa, how’re you?
Rupa : I’m fine and what about you?
Rima : I’m also fine. I see you are absorbed (gMœ) in deep thought. Is there any problem?
Rupa : No, I’ve no personal problem. But I’m very upset about the problem of illiteracy in our country.
Rima : Oh, I see. Illiteracy is undoubtedly a great problem as well as a curse for our country.
Rupa : You’re right. It’s the root cause of ignorance that frustrates (e¨vnZ K‡i) all our development efforts.
Rima : Exactly! No development efforts can succeed unless illiteracy is eradicated (`~i Kiv nq).
Rupa : Right you are. Our girls and women are the worst sufferers from illiteracy. But how can we get rid of this problem?
Rima : I think the government should take effective (Kvh©Ki) steps to solve this problem. The government should make education free up to graduate level and help the poor students financially.
Rupa : You are partly right. But only government cannot solve this problem. We all should come forward and work hand in hand to solve this problem.
Rima : It is okay! But the government should start adult schools again and take initiative so that our girls go to school and complete at least primary education.
Rupa : I agree with you! But creating mass awareness is very important in this case.
Rima : You are right. If we develop mass awareness among the guardians, they will be aware of the importance of education.
Rupa : Great! students like us also can encourage the illiterate guardians for sending their children to school. We should do it because it is our social duty.
Rima : Exactly. if we all are sincere in words and deeds, eradicating illiteracy from our country is not impossible. Thank you.
Rupa : You’re quite right. You are most welcome.
