This so-called modern education system was introduced by the colonial masters
to create servants who could serve but not lead, and we still have the same
education system.

SANITATION - Sanitation is yet another problem, but one of the biggest, in
India. There are about 700 million people who have no access to toilets at
home. Slum areas do not have toilets. People are thus forced to defecate in
the open, which causes numerous diseases like diarrhoea, cholera, dehy-
dration etc. Many rural schools also have no toilets, because of which parents
do not send their kids, especially girls, to school.

HEALTH CARE - Healthcare is a neglected issue in India, as major attention
drawers are agriculture, infrastructure and IT. Lack of resources in rural India
is a major concern of the day, leading to most of the problems. 50% of all
villagers have no access to healthcare providers.

POVERTY -The population of India living below the poverty line declined from
37% in 2004-2005 to 22% in 2011-1.This disparity needs immediate attention
of the government.

WOMEN SAFETY - Both men and women enjoy equal opportunities, but as far
as freedom and safety of women are concerned, India lags behind. Issues like

domestic violence, rape, the portrayal of women in media, etc., must be
tackled immediately.

These are just some of the problems which we have to tackle and come up
with good plans and ideas to solve these issues. At the I would like to say that
"NO COUNTRY IS PERFECT BUT WITH SOME PATIENCE AND HONESTY WE CAN
MAKE IT BETTER"
