Comments on this pledge

To bring about a change in this world we need to bring about the changes in what we do......educating people is the biggest way to do so.
India is house of perons, but today she needs personality who can change his/her sorrounding. This small action will bring a renaissance in the country.
We are happy to know that there are many more people like us who are doing their little bit to keep children in schools.
India needs initiatives at both the individual and institutional level to transform the society. As a teacher, I would like to help in this process. I can spend a few hours every week, giving free classes in English to those who need it. It will be more useful if we can identify the number of children who need financial and other help in every locality and the cost for their education can be borne by the residents, shop owners, institutes and schools in that area. In other words, the people in a particular area 'adopt' the children in that area and provide study materials or infrastructure, expertise and resources.
