While Serving as a doctor, i have seen rural and slums people need more than just health care. I have seen that rural people need access to basic education, food and little care to be what they want to be.

Dr. Emon Chowdhury believes Educational Handicaps of Slum Children Hope for solving the massive social problems associated with urban poverty appears to center increasingly on improvement in the methods of educating the culturally deprived children of the slums. Educators have long recognized that such children enter school under handicaps not imposed on children of the middle class, that slum children often seem immune to standard instructional programs, and that a relatively large proportion of them quit school early and become misfits and unemployable. Some inevitably drift into delinquency.
