Food is the first priority

The never ending debate whether illiteracy is even a bigger threat than food and nutrition is bound to become acrimonious and people will have their own views supported by strong convictions. This is true those both are burning issues and threat the growth of any nation in today’s world.

The question often comes, whether intellectual development is possible without proper food or the basic amenities required for sustenance.

It is true that education and culture comes much later to the individuals when the question of priority in life comes into fore. An example of reality is often cited that there are a lot of farmers, who survive luxuriously even without literacy and the fact of life remains that many farmers hinder their inmates to go to scroll even today, when they require their children as helping hands in their prime season.

So, according to them the requirement of food is much above than furthering literacy, even without which a person can survive.

In reality many are supposed to believe in that and a very few may be found to be wilted mainly in a developing country. The problem is that people are interested in short term gain brushing aside the long term benefits. The people hardly bother and even a mother needs to be literate to foster the growth of her kid. If you go and try to convince them it creates a churning inside them and they show their resilience against the modern outlook or the long term benefit.

History has witnessed formidable devastation during the stage of Galileo, when he wanted to enlighten the people, by stating the fact that earth moves round the Sun, which they had been unable to toe in their line of belief.

In spite of all these literacy could not be stopped and its slow but determined stepping has started reaching the furthest corner of the house. But we should not forget the fact a hungry stomach can hardly be creative and his brain cells seize to think about the future.
