Vision for India at 100!
This newsletter is meant to lit a knowledge lamp with the knowledge resources at hand. It would be precisely focused to add value to law, including IP laws, in brief notes.
India is celebrating Aazadi ka Amrit Mahotsav on completing 75 years of independence from the British Raj. Freedom is the most cherished virtue of all living beings. Therefore, the Amrit Mahotsav celebration is imperative.
The census is conducted at the beginning of a decade in India. According to the 1951 census, the literacy rate was 18.33%, with a 12.3% gap in gender literacy. With this poor literacy, India won its independence.
With the current 77% literacy rate, setting a vision to celebrate 100 years of independence with a 100% literacy rate is challenging. In the 21st century, knowledge has emerged as the most powerful tool for empowerment. To balance the rights and duties of citizens, the Constitution of India provides fundamental rights alongside the directive principles.
The Aazadi ka Amrit Mahotsav is in its concluding days as India, proudly also known as Bharat, is just two weeks away from the next Independence Day on August 15th. At the dawn of an Independent India, literacy was one of the foremost challenges. After reaching the 75% literacy rate, it is high time to make citizens law-literate. It would help shed darkness and opacity from our public governance system, under which corruption like evil flourishes and public money is looted. The sufferings of millions of Indians would not end until a high legal literacy rate is achieved.
May the mission Legal Litracy revolutionise the largest democracy in establishing Democracy2.0.
