- (1888PressRelease) November 09, 2010 - Out of 186 million children in the age group of 5-14, 100 million are not in school. Of the rest 86 million, out of every 10 children who start in grade 1, only 4 reach grade 8. Illiteracy is a self fulfilling curse that perpetuates the change of poverty, degradation and child labour. Unless we act soon, many more in our country will never discover the true meaning of Independence 'the freedom to hold your head high'.
3 State Governments played a significant role in supporting efforts of "Freedom through Education", the Government of Andhra Pradesh, which has contributed over Rs.30 Million through the "Janmabhoomi" Scheme, the Government of Tamil Nadu which has contributed over Rs.10 Million through the "Namakku Naamae" Scheme and the Government of Karnataka under the "Project Paathashaala" Initiative.

This motto was taken from a speech by the Prince of Wales, in which he said: "The young business and professional men of the country must get together round the Table, adopt methods that have proved so sound in the past, adapt them to the changing needs of the times, and wherever possible, improve them".
