Respected sir,
Through this letter, I wanted to enquire about Short - Term courses and classes which were scheduled in summer vacations of this year. Sir, two months ago you announced that your organization will be offering vocational course classes to the youths. But sir we have got no information about it yet.

Subject: Poor Enrollment of Girls in Primary and Upper Primary School
Editor,
Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention of the concerned authorities and common masses towards the state of female literacy in India.
India is a country where the majority of its population is below the age of 35. It is a country of young people. Consequently, education is a service that can play a big role in cultivating the youth of the nation. Unfortunately, a lot
of gender disparity exists in our country. The birth of a male child is celebrated with aplomb while the birth of a female child is lamented. The statistics reveal that out of the total number of children enrolled in schools in the year 1999-2000, only 43.6% of girls were enrolled in primary school and 40.4% were enrolled in upper primary school. In the year 2004-2005. Only 46.7% of girls were enrolled in primary school and 44.43% were enrolled in upper primary school. These figures go to show that female literacy has a long way to go in India.
It is imperative that the government takes steps to ensure better participation of the female child in education. It is also important to change conservative social attitudes towards the girl child’s education. Like Jawaharlal Nehru once said – “By educating a woman, you are educating an entire family.
Yours sincerely,
