Education is key

We caught up with some Bollywood actors on Children���s Day and asked them what they would do give children of India a better future here.
First of all I think there is a dire need for Indian citizens to do something to control the population. After all why do they have so many children if they cannot give them a good quality of life? On my part I think all of us need to do something to ensure that the children receive basic education and proper nutrition.When I see these small kids begging on the road I feel so disheartened. After all they are the future of our country. Someday I wish to open an NGO to do the needful for these unprivileged kids.

Ithink at present education is the most important thing that is needed for the children in India. Illiteracy among children is one of the most grave problems that our country is facing at the moment. I think free education should be provided to the children so that they can look up to a bright future for themselves. More and more educational centres need to be started which would provide free education to the underprivileged children. I think that once they are educated they can make a good future for themselves without anyone���s support. I have been associated with a few such centers in Mumbai who look after underprivileged children.

I think we all can do a lot to make India a better place for the children. I think today the most important need of the children of India is education, something that will help them have a good life. I think if all of us take up the responsibility of one or two kids then there will be no underprivileged kids in India. Personally I support a few orphanages. I dream of starting an orphanage where I can take care of these unfortunate kids and bring a smile on their faces.

It is very essential that all the kids get fundamental education and proper food to lead a healthy life. I think if all the citizens do even a little for these kids it can matter a lot in the long run. Small contributions can prove to be a big help for these kids. Personally I take the responsibility of six underprivileged children every month as a part of the World Vision of India campaign.
