Villages
|
|
There has been a hue and cry about villages in India. 75% of the people still live in Villages in India. In these villages about 20% of them are seeing some kind of development thanks to the initiative taken by the present Government at the Central Level. The balance 80% are rotting, without proper drinking water, sanitation facility and more and more less education facility for the children. The people in these village migrate to the urban places lookiing for work when there are no viable solutions for them to find 2 square meals a day. The result, these villagers 90% of illiterate live on footpaths, look for work leaving behind their children on the foot paths.
Most of these children tend to beg when their parents are away looking for work. The parents whatever meagre money that they get during the day, come back and try to find some meals for the children.
Oftern these families are driven out of their settlement during night by the police fearing that these families might find a permanent place in these footpaths for the rest of their lives.
Where will these people go? When is this atrocious kind of living for them end. If they had sufficient water to till their land in their village they would not have come out to the urban cities. Because of the gloabal warming, the erratic rain fall in most of the village the tilling of their land becomes a luxury for them. These villagers mail depend on the rain water for their survival in thier own den. There is more to do in these villages. Some good foundatin has started in some villages and they are successful only to the extend of 40% because they do not find good samaritans to fund them. There are people ready to work for the better life of these villagers, but there very little foundations that are ready to cater to the need of the villagers.
