Humane Society on Clubhouse

Description

There are plenty of social issues that World faces and in this Club we are discussing on social issues/Education we are going to discuss the main issues pertaining to India
Poverty: There are millions of Indian who are BPL (Below Poverty Line) cardholders. While the government has been trying to provide them with food, every government since the time India achieved her independence, has miserably failed to lift people out of poverty. Crores of families in India are daily wage labourers who can easily be trapped into the poverty of they don’t work even for one day. The issue of poverty has been highlighted and been flashed into our faces during the COVID-19 pandemic when the country was under lockdown for 2 months. Millions of people, with lack of livelihood and food, were on the verge of starvation.
Gender Discrimination: The pay gap between a male and a female employee, lack of adequate representation of female leaders in parliament, dowry harassment, lack of equal opportunities both in private and public sector jobs and social stereotypes and stigmas attached with the concept of gender has been a challenging problem for our country from many years.
Female Foeticide:Killing of babies inside a womb because the gender of the baby is female, is considered to be a crime in the country. And in spite of strict law and order in place, female foeticide continues to exist in India. The reason behind this is a false social stigma associated with girls in the country assuming that girls are a financial and social burden for the parents. Proper educational and awareness, campaigns need to be conducted, especially in rural India to educate people about the importance of a girl child in a family.
Illiteracy: In spite of providing free primary and secondary education, the illiteracy rate in India is very high. This is especially true in economically backward areas where parents would prefer sending their kids to work and earn money than sending them to school. They feel that school and studying can’t earn them a livelihood.
Corruption: Corruption has impacted the development of India. Proper policies and laws should be in place to stop and reduce corruption in India.
