In the semi-urban and rural areas of the down the south this sector contributes 30% of the total family income, rest of which comes mainly from agriculture and other activities. Now the agricultural income of the family does not cover even the day-to-day expenditure in this sky rocketing price age. Now we have to closely monitor whether these children meticulously attend the school and continue thier education . Otherwise there are lot of chances for these children geting mingled with the unsocial elements and get spoiled themselves.If they are (children above 10 years old)allowed to work besides getting education through alternative methods like 'non-formal education' these children can earn money through some work and lend helping hands to their poor family. mingling with unsocial elements....... Non-formal education system is most common now a days. Then why can't the school left outs in the age group of above 10 be covered by this alternative education system? Secondly dumping with luxury things in the poor man's house to woo the vote bank but not arranging for any income generation projects is the order of the day. The poor man needs to spend some more money for the maintenance of these luxury items which will in turn bite his purse (?) Here it will be very apt to quote one Chinese proverb, which says: <o></o> "Don't give the fish to the poor Teach them how to catch the fish" FOR MORE DETAILS : <!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <o></o> <!--[endif]--><o></o> I request the erudite readers of this AUDARYA-FELLOWSHIP to visit and join my group: gurujivenkat/ seeking divine blessings - guruji Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
