Visit to Slum Area

Today our Daily Schedule Committee organised a visit to the slum area. We all students of both the semester went to Gadhediya locality. There we have seen slum area near main street. All the people who are living there, didn't have any type of facilities. There were no houses, no lights, no supply of water. As we are alredy aware about  the characteristics of slum. In their family all are working, whether it is about doing something or asking for food or money from other peoples.

Education

The main thing, about which the poor people asked is 'Education'. All have keen desire to educate their children. They wants us to educate their children. They wanted that we should go there to teach. But this is not the solution of problem. Even if we provide door to door facilities, it doesn't mean that the problem is solved. The problem was there in the mindset of the people, who didn't want to send their children outside, or if they do, then it is only for earning, for alms, for begging.

Satire on society

There one lady speaks in satirical tone that if we do something for them, then only they show respect and support us. They wants that we should do something to fulfill their basis needs. Especially the need "ROTI, KAPDA AUR MAKAN". When we ask them about the housing facilities given by Prime Minister for BPL people, they says that there is not any type of facilities for them. They are staying away far from all type of financial and other supports provided by the government.

Addiction

In slums, not only man are addicted, but women are too addicted. We saw that the women are chewing Tobacco. And almost every men is drunkard. They did not have money to send their children to school but have money to fulfill their addiction. At one side they are talking about big things that they wants their children to do something, to change their future with education but not put it in practice.

Our motif

We went there to ask about their problems and to bring smile on the face of children.We all students contributed and make one box, in which all gave some amount, with that amount we bought biscuits and distributed among childrens.
Overall it was amazing day and we are thankful to DS committee which organised such event every year.
