Advertisements have a telling impact on us. We have many tasks to

take up under „Design for Change‟.

Our Team Choose “AWAKE ARISE AKSHAR SE”, because one of our

illiterate Class IV employee became a victim of a cheating case.

I FEEL

Education is important. I really can not

understand why people

neglect going to school.

How did they pass their

time in childhood? How

will they pass their time?

How do they manage if

something comes on TV

screen? Oh! It is very

difficult to be illiterate.

This is how our skit

began on Teacher’s day. But I felt I should educate at least one illiterate. I started

it with my servant’s son who is 5 year old. When I shared my experiences with my

classmates, they too wanted to do something like this.

I IMAGINE

We discussed with our teachers. Teachers appreciated and brought it to the

notice of the Principal. We selected three adults for each with our Principals

consent. The Principal asked us to select three ayas (Class IV employees) who are

illiterate. The feeling that we are taking up a task which is not our routine, thrilled

us. We started literacy class in our premises after school hours for an hour. To

begin with, we have decided to teach alphabet in Telugu language.

I DO

“Learning to count”

“Team in action”

“Awareness on Adult Literacy”

Our Principal just glanced at our work after a week. She immediately directed our

mentor (teacher) to take us to the Officer in charge of ADULT EDUCATION

PROGRAMME. He educated us how to handle the adults. We got text books freely

from them to be given each adult. We had a meeting with the Officer in charge with

our ayas who motivated them and enabled us to carry out our work with ease.

Everyone is given a set of three books. The first book deals with the important

things that they see in their village. Even the written work also begins with the

“Motivation on Adult Literacy in school premises”

“Awake Arise Akshar Se – Team in action”

information “MANA UURU-MY VILLAGE”. First they have to identify the pictures and

later they are supposed to write the words related to the picture.

Our work went on quite fast. Our adult students picked up numeration and

counting, alphabet in English too.

Our work is more or less like the SAKSHAR BHARATH PROGRAME taken up

the HRD. Even the Govt. of Andhhra Pradesh started adult education programme in

18 districts, covering 76 lakh people. Of course, we understood the mega venture

started by the Indian government to improve the literacy rate at a war footing

level. It is no less than a Herculean task.
