Education and the State of World Affairs

The world in which we live in is filled with suffering due to poverty, social imbalance, injustice, environmental degradation and immorality. As a result, It has destroyed our very social human fabric. Poverty and disunity have crippled our core moral values and our material and spiritual progress all over the world. Many rural communities, particularly in the Third-World countries, are most affected.
