Rasool Pur Achieved Literacy
Rasool Pur, a small town in Pakistan, has produced a model for a perfect civilization for the entire globe. It is located in the rural parts of the northeastern Punjab province.
The community, which boasts a 100% literacy rate and a 0% crime rate, celebrated International Literacy Day on Sept. 8 each year, with residents praising one another and thanking school teachers for their unwavering devotion to education.
The head of Government Girls High School Rasool Pur, Mehtaab Jahan, said: “I was relocated here two years ago and was astounded by the people’s incredible sense of responsibility. Nobody throws trash on the road, and the entire hamlet is a no-smoking zone.”
Rasool Pur is a small town with a population of 2,000-3,000 people, the most of whom are ethnic Baloch. In 1933-34, their forefathers moved from Pakistan’s Balochistan province to the district of Southern Punjab.
They didn’t have a steady source of money at the time, so education became a way for them to make a living.
There are two high schools and an elementary school in the village. After high school, pupils attend a college in Jampur city’s neighboring township, which is 8-10 km (5-6 miles) away.
“My school has 300 girls, while the boys’ school has nearly the same number of children. We do not believe that literacy is defined by the United Nations as the ability to write one’s name; instead, every person here must complete high school; otherwise, the elders will not allow them to participate in society “Jahaan stated.
According to the Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement Survey, the population’s literacy rate has remained stable at 60% since 2014-15.
Mehtaab Jahan shed light on the most crucial aspect that contributed to the achievement of a 100 percent literacy rate while explaining people’s social conduct.
Rasool Pur, a Pakistani Village, Achieved Complete Literacy. “Encouraging the youngsters and showing them the success stories of their elder siblings makes them accomplish even higher goals,” said Dilawar Saleem, a resident of Rasool Poor.
The Punjab government has set aside 34.6 billion rupees ($203.5 million) for 110 ongoing and 29 new education development projects in 2020-21, according to the Pakistan Economic Survey.
According to Murad Raas: “The community engagement effort is noteworthy, since it emphasizes the significance of education with vigilance and compassion. This is how we envision contemporary society expanding, in which education is viewed as a fundamental right of every child and appropriate actions are made to ensure its expansion. We are working to adopt the approach in Punjab’s rural, distant rural, and urban areas.”
Meanwhile, the village’s triumph does not end with a 100% literacy rate. In the last 100 years, the police station in this model town has not logged a single criminal case, demonstrating how everyone is responsible for the rights of others.
“We have a robust communication network among us that our forefathers passed down to us. When it comes to keeping law and order, no one dares to step over the line. This is the regulation that has allowed us to achieve a zero-crime rate in our community “Saleem shared his opinion.
