Sailing against the winds

With the living example of a father who gave up and confined to the house with his partial blindness, Sumit Kumar’s parents were apprehensive of him doing the same. This thought always hurt his mother and brother who took the responsibility of the family on their shoulders after his father gave up his private job. Both mother and brother work in the public sector and earn for the family. Sumit’s mother intervened in his life strongly to empower him and help him live an independent life.

Need to identify the real reasons

Poverty and rising population is a national issue. Large families stricken with severe poverty is an issue in India since Independence. This has threatened ability of the nation itself to meet the social, economic and political demands of the people. Though the demographic trend is changing for good, there is still a lot more to come in control to prevent population explosion. The demographic forecast for our largely populated country is still an upward growing graph in the coming decades.

Getting ready for a rainy day

Many of the policies and decisions designed by the government are unknown to the public as well as the several institutions serving them. Information asymmetry can be considered a major reason in India for the improper management of domain issues.
