An appeal for ideas and discussion
Education helps a nation grow. I would like an online discussion started on how to contribute to the society and ensure education till secondary levels for each individual.
Last few years saw initiatives from the state & central govt for getting primary education to all citizens.
However, what I feel is the pressing need for each student to get educated at least till School Completion (Std X). Due to lack of finances, a lot of students drop out of school every year. There are scholarships for higher education and aid for students belonging to certain faith/region/caste. But everyone is still not catered.
Please use this forum to come forward and discuss how the educated and well heeled Indian can help build a fundamentally strong India.

Rajesh has brought in a unique keyword. "Education poverty". The term coined is very succinct and precise at describing the problem faced by India.
We should be looking at means to ensure that students enrolled into the primary level continue their education till school completion.
Is economic hardship one of the primary and single big reason contributing towards incomplete studies. Or there are other problems like unavailability of secondary schools widely and in the proximity of all communities.
Harish,
Couple of aspects that need to be taken into consideration
