Literacy and Adult Education
At Tarikund, besides agriculture, literacy and adult education demanded the involvement of Nabababu and Malati Devi. Malati Devi used to motivate the women for attending the night school and educate them for taking care of their children. She used to visit both Hindu and Muslim homes, which is why, the Hindus were not allowing her to enter their houses. Gradually the resistance began to dilute and she became the most liked person for everybody.

Famous quotes containing the words adult and/or education:
“A healthy male adult bore consumes each year one and a half times his own weight in other people’s patience.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
