Illiteracy, the real darkness the nation gropes in,
At least light a candle, the darkness goes out,
Wipe out illiteracy or we commit a grievous sin,
To make a billion people literate,we need effort.
In good stead literacy movement in India did click,
Rural folk,elderly illiterates were seriously taught,
Three R's the simple Reading,Writing and Arithmetic,
In groups on the streets,vicious illiteracy was fought.
Young volunteers with a zeal the work they took up,
Gathered mass after sun-set to eradicate darkness,
New volunteers took charge of emerging new group,
Learning process continued,its a blessing witness.
A new tide of educators came only to find,
A new beginning in each and in every end.
