An 11-year-old kid asks the minister for education
What does the common mass need?
The major part of the global population is poor. What is their primary requirement? The common mass first needs food to eat, then dress to wear, and a shelter or home to live.
The ruling political parties woo the poor citizens with a lot of promises. They promise them employment hopes and financial assistance.
The voters believe the hollow promises of the politicians and vote them to power again and again. We recently saw what happened to the citizens of Sri Lanka. The government became bankrupt and the president-prime-minister brother duo flew away.
What is more important for the poor citizens?
In the recent past, something special happened in a village in Bihar, India. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was on his way on the village road meeting the common citizens and giving them chances to talk to him.
A child of 11 years made everybody surprised by his thought-provoking spoken words with the Chief Minister. The child asks the minister for education, and not any financial assistance!
Sonu Kumar, an 11-year-old boy from Bihar told the Bihar Chief Minister that he doesn't want any financial assistance, but he wants an education. Sonu requests the CM to get him admission to a good school, such as "Sainik School." Sainik (Sainik is a Sanskrit word that means army) School is a renowned school for quality education and discipline.
A small kid from a very poor family, where nobody got an education, having said such a request to the minister, is an incident of great surprise. His father used to be a drunkard, and now the kid could convice his father to give up alcohol.

Sonu Kumar has started teaching friends different subjects.
Sonu Kumar took own interest to learn by using a relative's mobile and self-studying using the Internet, because his local school teachers don't teach them well.
Sonu Kumar has volunteered to help about 35+ friends in their studies. And, students (members) are increasing in his tutoring class.
A person video recorded his conversation with the Chief Minister in the crowd and posted the video on social media, which went viral. That is how I also came to know about the wonder kid Sonu Kumar. I attach Sonu's interview with the prime news channel.
Closing thoughts
I am very impressed and inspired. A poor boy who has been suppressed in society and family, earnestly wants to get a quality education and take up the challenge of developing the nation.
Are we/you listening? Yes, I am asking the people of my country as well as from other nations of the world.
What an 11-year-old boy can think and understand, why can't grown-up voters take serious notes and undertake follow-up action?
Global citizens need facilities for quality education.
Proper education can build an improved nation and a better society.
