The National CSR Summit on Literacy and Education will focus on the most urgent actions that are needed to counter the problem of illiteracy and improve the quality of education of the masses. In particular, the potential of Global Dream -An initiative by Dignity Education to accelerate literacy and improve the quality of education will be examined.

India has widespread illiteracy (25.6 %) (Census 2011) It also has 37.4% of world’s illiterate adults (UNESCO).

:There are some disturbing trends that make the problem of illiteracy particularly severe:

-The government’s National Literacy Mission’s Literacy campaigns across India (Central Government scheme), is the only the only agency active in the field of making India Literate. However covers some 597 of India’s districts, of which 67 are untouched. (Govt data). Lucknow, for example, is one of such 7 districts in UP that have no government program for literacy (central or state). This means that these districts will continue to deepen in their illiteracy levels.

-There is no program for India’s children who are out-of school. Though government puts in effort to enroll them, many children’s reality does not them to attend school. These are children of migrant laborers, beggar children, school dropouts and others. These are the most vulnerable of all groups, along with the girl child and women who will be the main beneficiaries of an effective literacy program.

-Though children are technically enrolled, many of them do not attend school, and those that do, do not learn as much as they need to.

-The data shows a decline in literacy levels since 2009 at government schools, indicating the situation is getting worse.

Global Dream offers tremendous opportunity to accelerate the level of literacy. It takes less than four months of 15-30 minute sessions to make a learner both literate and numerate in a typical NLM program.

Over hundred people have become members of the Global Dream’s Advisory Committee. As a start, a survey to identify target populations was conducted by the government’s primary and junior school teachers in the Karouni village. This experiment will be replicated throughout the district of Lucknow. The Central Government’s Department of Pensions has begun collaboration with Global Dream and have had their first meeting of Pensioners .Over hundred pensioners have offered to volunteer and supervise literacy initiatives.

The New APP for Global Dream will be launched at this CSR Summit on Literacy and Education, With Global Dream and its new APP, this is also a highly scalable option capable of making a huge impact in a short time.
