“Development as freedom, and literacy is the high road to freedom” - Amartya Sen.

India is home to 17 million child labour, only about 20 per cent of the graduates are
employable in the market and in a country with huge occupational diversity there are only
about 150 or so skill-based trainings. These statistics are not encouraging. If literacy, as it
exists in today’s India, has truly laid the path to freedom? Is our education ‘machine’
contributing towards improving the quality of life and livelihoods of the people at large?
