EDUCATION IN RURAL INDIA
India will have the youngest population in few more years compared to the rest of the countries. This will be a fruitful growth for India due to young population, but this growth will only come to light when the population is educated and know how to utilize the available resources to develop.

Education in today world
Education in today worlds is the most expensive asset, in a developing country like India education isn’t feasible to all especially in rural area, education in rural areas is being promoted and the educated people are spreading awareness and the benefits that the children will get if they are educated. Schools in rural area are government oriented where there are not efficient teachers who can provide quality education. Children are provided with meals, free books, and uniforms to attend school and gain knowledge, but parents aren’t ready to send their children to school because they feel education isn’t necessary and they feel they can send their children to work and earn money. People in the rural area don’t know much about the developing world, they don’t use the latest technology and are not aware of the society. Schools located in these areas are trying to provide basics education where the child can be able to read and write at least the state language. In these areas English is not given much importance, Girl children aren’t sent to schools, but they are married at a very young age. The reason for the providing education in rural areas to the people, is to sustain in the face growing world. The mentally of the people is to earn their daily wages, and not think in the future run. When schools are set up in these areas they aren’t maintained well, attracting the students with food is not making any change. It is too late to educate the child’s parents, but the government and the government servants take time and can explain out the benefits out of education their child will get. Education these days is a business in the modern world but the rural remains the same, there is a very less chance of the rural to transform into urban. Once a child completes school and they are sent to the urban for higher studies parents are not able to pay this expensive. So, the child remains in the rural area and works with their parents the knowledge gained can’t be utilized further. Parental illiteracy is another cause for lack of interest to become literates.

The initiatives
The initiatives taken to spread education in rural areas should be more in detail and provide more infrastructural development and guide the parents about the importance of education and how their children will gain knowledge and will be able to face the world. Education is the first step to face the worlds competition, there is a lot more time to get the younger generation educated and make India a developed country.
