Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today termed illiteracy as shame and asked each and every village to remove the blot of illiteracy from the state. Modi said: “for me, this girl child school enrollment campaign is not an occasion of joy, but it is a painful event.”
Speaking at various functions on the second day of the annual school enrollment drive in coastal villages of Vadhera, Mitiyana and Babarkot of Jafrabad taluka in Amreli district, Modi said it is the responsibility of social leaders, educated youth, teachers and even women to encourage children to enroll children in the primary schools.
He said that schools were set up in the past, too, but was not backed by campaigns to ensure children go to schools. He wished the ‘shala praveshotsva’ and ‘kanya kelavni’ campaigns launched seven years ago by his government would bear fruit. A number of schemes like vidya lakshmi bond have been launched to get more children and especially girl child enrolled. He regretted that there was criticism of even noble works like this.
He cited the example of Vadhera village where a school was constructed on this day 127 years ago, on June 18, 1884, but 65 per cent of the village is illiterate.
Mr. Modi said that thousands of crores have been spent on education in the past 50 years, with little gain. Now that the government is opening schools, appointing teachers and providing basic facilities like classrooms, it is the society’s responsibility to ensure children go to the schools.
Next to education is providing jobs for which he said the government is conscious of industrial development through ‘sagarkhedu vikas’ package. The government is also conscious about the health of the people, providing fortified foods to the needy.
Those who attended the functions included Mr. Hirabhai Solanki, MLA, taluka panchayat president Bhuagubhai Solanki, collector Mr. Sompura, and village sarpanchs.
Mr. Modi will be visiting tribal Ghoghamba taluka’s Paroli, Farod and Lalpuri villages for school enrollment campaign tomorrow.

I hope world would open eyes soon to recognise this great visionair……….
Thank you very much Sir for being wonderful person…….Sat sat pranam……..
Modiji, you are setting a good example for our future generation.
You have already lighted the दिप of Hindutva, All the 33 crore devataas be at your service, and we wish from our heart, you serve every citizen for generations to come like you have been already doing in these pictures. You have proved that when people vote wisely and ALWAYS vote, then beautiful souls like you are sure to benefit all of us.
जय श्री राम!
This is the most vibrant occasion for Gujarat.
जय जय गरवी गुजरात!
The most wonderful initiative. This is what a Prime Minister suppose to be doing to send a message across the country. But!

Mr. CM is simply GREAT!!!
India needs a courageous, visionary, dynamic and incorruptible leader like NaMo to be at PM’s post. I hope people blinded by biased media and other selfish politicos realize where NaMo can take India if given a chance. I don’t think India has had a great leader like NaMo ever. It’ll be India’s loss if NaMo doesn’t get to be the PM of India.
One doesn’t need a PM post to be able to serve every citizen.
For proof Just look at Mahatma Mohandas, or Sardar Vallabhbhaai.
Modi as a CM itself or as a foot soldier was of immense help to every citizen of भारत
As long as we Gujaratis continue to support his policies, EVERY CITIZEN of भारत माँ is going to reap the benefits from efforts and goodwill good intentions of Mahatma Modi.
If like Modiji, All we got to remember is to VOTE COMPULSORILY.
Hindutva is the culture of the youth, and the lifestyle for a scientific & harmonious space age.
जय श्री राम!
Even when you look at the profound impact made Veer Vinayak, or Netaji Subhash, or Shahid Bhagat (their impact was 1000 times more than any PM), that benefited in every people
they all point to the fact that, ALL that is needed for the benefit of every citizen and to serve every soul: is a good resolve and good will.
जय श्री राम!
