Ignorance is Bliss’

Of course, you might have. It’s a very popular phrase that is derived from the likes of cowardice and selfishness. It is often used by people who like to run away from reality and are often deluded with what actually makes them happy. Ignorance is not at all bliss. All man-made catastrophes such as illiteracy, inequality, harassment, suppression and everything that dwells in the dark side arise from ignorance.

Recently, I came across an article by The Hindu titled – What is the dropout rate among school children in India? And I was shocked to see the statistics that the majority of regions such as Jharkhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Bihar, Mizoram, etc. have high dropout rates. On an average only 70 students out of 100 finish school in India. While in the above the mentioned regions the condition is even worse, only 30 – 50 students complete schooling. More than half of the students enrolled at the elementary level leave school till they reach 12th.

Therefor through this shared data-set i would like to motivate every person to know and to understand the situation.
