THERE ARE SOME MAJOR ISUUES BY

WHICH OUR COUNTRY IS SUFFERING
FROM:-
EDUCATION SYSTEM: Despite our best efforts, our educational
development still remains at a low level. The lack of sufficient funds, lack of
affordable schools, affordable schools are overcrowded, we are still using the
teacher training methods of yesterday, and many more are the main problem in the
development of our education system. Education is the most important thing today
or in our day to day life but due to some causes it has limited access. This social
cause can mainly fixed by the government only by responding on this matter, “The
government can make small committee for look after the progress in schools of
their particular areas, and schools itself make sure that their student’s parents are
involved in their child’s education, schools should organize annual events that
attract student towards educations.

CORRUPTION: Corruption in India is an issue which affects the

economy of central, state and local government agencies in many ways. Indians
sometimes pay bribe to an official to their work done. India has the highest rate of
bribery and use of personal links to access public services such as healthcare and
education in Asia. In 2019 their Corruption Perceptions Index ranked India 80th
place out of 180. In response on this matter, “both national and state governments
need to invest in user-friendly online platforms to deliver essentials public services
quickly and effectively.”

POPULATION: Today population in India is a major problem towards

everyone either that is government or the citizens.
But is it the problem which rose in one day? Answer in obviously ‘no’.
So what is cause of it? Answer is lack of education among people. Uneducated
people contribute immensely in the population explosion. Controlling of
population can done by awareness of it’s loses among peoples.
UNEMPLOYMENT: This social issue is directly effected by
population explosion only. In action towards this we can only do the thing is
population control.

POVERTY: Increase rate of rising population, increasing price rise,

unemployment, unequal distribution of income, regional poverty are main cause of
poverty in India. In action towards this social cause population control is needed
and with it government should also monitor the price rise, unequal distribution of
income, and also bring employment opportunities.

POLLUTION: This social cause is not only bothered India but also the
whole world. Whole world is trying to decrease it at its least but it seems close to
impossible. Industrial Emission, Fossil Fuel-Based Power Plants, Natural Causes,
Gold mining, Radioactive waste and Uranium mining are some main causes of
population. As these all are quiet necessary for humans taking an effective action
became impossible to take but government should bring new laws timely for
limited controls on it.

WOMEN SAFETY: In India Durga, Laxmi are worshipped by people

as goddesses but there is increasing number of violence against women. Women
were previously restricted to the four walls of the houses and after globalization
they have got the chances and opportunities to stand equally in all sectors with
male. There are different kinds of tools that are being used by the male dominated
society to prove their domination over the female. Sexual harassment, rape,
domestic violence against women are these weapons used by the male to display
the male superiority. This is one of the prime reason violence is increasing in India
and women safety is a concern in India. This issue can only fixed by them who are
doing this crime by realizing that what they are doing is totally wrong. In this we
and government can also contribute by making them realize of their mistake by
doing RALLIES, SOCIAL AWARENESS PROGRAMMES etc.
