1.Though there is a movement like ‘Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan’ and enrolling of


underprivileged children in schools, there are still many children, like the one in the
picture, who do not go to school, rather have never seen a school. It is indeed disturbing.
You decide to write a letter to the editor of a newspaper expressing your views and the
steps to be taken. Take ideas from the MCB unit ‘Education’. Write the letter in about
120 words.

Sir
Subject: Educating the Underprivileged
Through the columns of your reputed newspaper, I wish to draw your attention towards the
movement ‘Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan’ which aims at providing knowledge to all children. Even
the act RTE-Right to Education also ensures education for all children between the age of
four to fourteen. But these movements and acts do not show themselves implemented
anywhere especially in the underprivileged class.
There are still many children who do not go to school. They either work as a domestic labour
or work in factories, dhabas, etc. It is disturbing to note that our government’s plans are not
bearing any fruits. It is all because of lack of awareness towards these kinds of movements.

We all need the help of print media as well as electronic media to spread messages of
awareness to the masses. The underprivileged children must be made to realize that they have
the right to get education. So, they must go to school. The foremost thing is to discourage
child-labour so as to give these children a bright future. I hope you will pay attention to this
noble cause and publish it in your newspaper.

Thanking you

Yours sincerely
Sidharth Singh
