It was a saying in the olden days that India lives in its villages. But, if we look at the initiatives taken by the Government for the rural people, this popular saying would appear a myth. Even in a state like Punjab, which has a strong rural economy, its rural population is yet to receive quality education. It is in this regard, that some experts have tried to look into the causes of the lack of participation of rural youngsters in professional education.

Rising Sun' promises bright future
This model centre of learning based on Neo-Humanist Education is a source of hope for all those young minds who were born with darkness all around them.
A few miles from Belmiro Braga, a little city in the state of Minas
Gerais just over the border from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is a small
village called Vila San Fransisco. It was established in the 1980s.
And, in this village is a little school named the 'Rising Sun'.
Just
as the rising sun denotes a new beginning, this school too, has adopted
a new teaching model based on the Neo-Humanist education. It aims to
instill a sense of worth and purpose among the poor and needy children
of the village.

 Most of us will agree that student days are the best in one's life. Even though education itself never ends, the medium Mchanging from a school to a university can be a big transition. Jawaharlal Nehru Univerisity is a mini-world in itself with its unofficial dress code of kurta-jeans-jhola and regional subgroups that sit together in the cafeteria during meals. The students in JNU come from every nook and corner of India, or more appropriately from all parts of the world. As I walk to school every morning and see this diversity all around me, JNU reminds me of 'Vasudev Kutumbakam' (the world is but one family), in this case, a young and academic JNU family.
