The process of education, the preparation for life, the
development of individuals' capacity to be productive members of society is
the very essence of a strong nation building mechanism. The civil society
depends on educating people to become responsible, thoughtful and
enterprising citizens. Not that our ruling class is unaware of these facts.
They know it too well. And more than half of India's vibrant population
remains illiterate even after sixty diamond years of independence. Added to
this, our schools and colleges are ill equipped, under-staffed and the
standards of education are south bound.
Dhrithi Foundation is a group of
volunteers [See Trustees] who are interested in supporting the cause of education in a
small way as is possible within their capabilities in a small city called
Mangalore in south west India.
The Objects of Dhrithi Foundation are:
