“It is the education that maketh good, ill that maketh wretch or happy rich or poor’’. (Edmund Spencer)
It has been our belief at NCLSW that a literate society is in its own right an answer to most of the ills of the developing world. Some of our achievements in Literacy/Education sector are as follows:
