Rotary's "T-E-A-C-H" Programme
Buoyed by the success of "End Polio", a program of Rotary International, the efforts of which resulted in eradication of polio from nearly 99% of the world, Rotary wants to start a war against illiteracy in South Asia and provide "Freedom from Illiteracy" by the year 2017. Understanding the enormity of the task it is important that we make a start, that too a meaningful one. We wish to achieve this with "Rotary's TEACH Mission"

Currently, in India we have literacy level of approximately 75%. This number looks good but also means India has 30 crore illiterate population. If we do not increase literacy level then India will have 1 illiterate out of 2 in the world by 20120
