To ,

The Editor ,

Times of India

Subject : The need to understand the evils of our society .

Respected Sir/Madam ,

I'm writing this letter to bring under your notice ; the great country of India is in a severe haunt of many threats .

Most importantly ; illiteracy , poverty , lack of proper health care and safety of women .

Living in such a society can be pressurising for many . Some may have a guilt of not being literate , some may feel shameful or insulted due to their poverty . Some may feel to die soon due to lack of proper and affordable healthcare , women unable to go out alone !

We may think that we are nothing to make a change alone . So why not join some NGOs ? The government will do its own work while we can get our own contribution towards our country . So , I request to post it in your newspaper so that volunteers can join and make a change !

Thanking You

Yours Sincerely,

Arun / Arti

Respected Sir / madam,

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw your attention towards the major problem like illiteracy , unemployment, lack of healthcare facilities. These all are  the major reasons for poverty in india .

   

       

Illiteracy is the mother of all issues as it gives birth to many other issues like poverty, unemployment, child  labour, female foeticide, population burst and many more. Literacy is a key for social a well as economic progress for a country . For  a country like india , where increasing population is a concern , let's make this population as an asset instead of liability. For example :- japan a country without natural resource , less population (as compared to india) but still it's a high-tech country  because government has worked on human capital .

         

I hope that you will publish this letter in your newspaper so that the concerned authorities give it a thought again and take the decision accordingly.
