I didn&amp;#39;t laugh. I remember there used to be a show on Doordarshan around noon. It came after UGC program. It was about education in rural villages and I used to watch that when we had holidays. The conditions were so sad but people were still sending children to school somehow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have come a long way since then. I just hope these children get encouragement and material to keep studying. Many times govt. schools close down because of insufficient fund.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11372925/759774115671538858/comments/default/6011676775180836264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11372925/759774115671538858/comments/default/6011676775180836264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.butkintuparantu.com/2009/10/we-civil-society.html?showComment=1254933567383#c6011676775180836264' title=''/><author><name>mesoliloquy</name><uri>http://mesoliloquy.wordpress.com/</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.butkintuparantu.com/2009/10/we-civil-society.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11372925.post-759774115671538858' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11372925/posts/default/759774115671538858' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
