As the importance of light is better understood by experiencing darkness; so is the importance of education can be better understood by dwelling into the lack of it. Dr. Mohammed Iqbal Ali, who is the vice chairman of CAREER GROUP OF EDUCATIONS believes that education is the primary ladder we need to climb to reach where we aspire to, to make our dreams a reality. Education is an essential tool for bright future for the nation. We can achieve anything good in our lives using the tool of education. For a developing country like India, to achieve the goals of development it becomes imperative that it eradicates social evils like- malnutrition, crime against women, child labor, illiteracy, corruption, gender inequality, crime rates, poverty, poor health and hygiene etc.

Making every girl child and every woman a literate will successfully reduce the gender bias, resulting in a more balanced and progressive society. If we want to achieve development we must educate our youth especially girls and women, so that they overcome the shackles of gender discrimination and constructively contribute to the progress of the nation.
