Three day NAFRE convention in Ahmedabad from today

Ahmedabad, Mar 12 (UNI) National Alliance For Right to Education and Equity (NAFRE) has organised a three day convention from today on 'Education and Livelihood of Oppressed and Lokneeti in the Era of Globalisation and Communal Fascism' here.

Demanding implementation of common schooling system and making the right to livelihood a fundamental right, Karan Singh Tyagi, National Convener, NAFRE told mediapersons that when an entire group of people continue to remain oppressed and deprived despite creation of enormous wealth, pro-people alternatives need to be worked out.

He said common schooling system is one way through which the deprived will get an opportunity for education and can live a dignified life. People with similar ideology should come together on one platform and work towards an equitable society, he added.

''NAFRE had played an important role in bringing the issue of common school system to the forefront and it does not look at education in isolation but as a right to life and the means by which all other rights can be insured,'' he said.

As many as 850 delegates including observers and guests will attend the convention while on the final day thousands of people will join a rally, he added.
