This is with reference to the report, "CM orders headcount of illiterates……. - The Goan Everyday - September 4, 2024." Now, that seems like a very good thought, a good initiative. The New India Literacy Mission would definitely boost the image of the state. All states in the country must strive to achieve 100 per cent literacy. Illiteracy very often, is at the root of social evils in society. At the same time, we must also ensure that our law makers are not just literate but better educated than the average man on the street and of course, without criminal charges against them. This will definitely boost the image of our nation and make our democracy really proud. Can we do that, or are we just dreaming?
