The
process of education, the preparation for life, the development of
individuals' capacity to be productive members of society is the very
essence of a strong nation building mechanism. The civil society
depends on educating people to become responsible, thoughtful
and enterprising citizens. Not that our ruling class is unaware of
these facts. They know it too well. And more than half of India's
vibrant population remains illiterate even after sixty diamond years
of independence. Added to this, our schools and colleges are ill
equipped, under-staffed and the standards of education are south
bound.
Dhrithi
Foundation is a group of volunteers [See
Trustees] who are
interested in supporting the cause of education in a small way as is
possible within their capabilities in a small city called Mangalore in
south west India.
The
Objects of Dhrithi Foundation are: (More
