A tale of greed and hungry child...

The prime job for any government is betterment of life for all the nationals. Be it of countrymen or the noble royalties.

 In India the major challenge for governments is to get the tribes to education. If this happens, some bigger challenges such as the child labor will be solved automatically. Needless to say that, all the big think-tanks know about it and are working on it with many means. 

Let's see the depth to it. Any child, who goes to work is mainly does so for the basic means as earning bread for the day. 

Bang on the spot: Government offered food. The mid-day meal scheme in India is actually a success. Thought the Wheat, Dalia and Rice promised for them from the government is already sold to the neighboring state which declines any support from the northern states. So what an ironically sweet way of revenge from the both sides, they eat all the food intended from the mother state, and here we smile for our cleverness of how we sold them the wheat for Rs. 6/- per KG which was intended for Rs. 1.50/- per KG for poor and will be sold to the common man in that state for Rs. 12/- Per KG.

 Ha Ha Ha! 

No food at school on some days! It’s okay as they at least get food 18-20 days a month, one time.

 Government is so great. They do so many things for us. Like see... They even introduced this Employment Guarantee Scheme.

 All we have to do is to go to the local contractor, who has got the contract for Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna after bribing who's who at the capital, and make rode to connect our village to the main road.

 This guy will give job to ten people; the registers will note attendance of 20 people. Approval will be given by the Sarpanch of the village, and the contractor will get the money in 7 days. The money will then be distributed. The Contractor will have his share of 7 workers; Sarpanch will get his share in next 7 days for 3 workers, after keeping the money for 10 days in the bank account for the interest, the contractor then give the money to the workers.

 So, in principal, the work which is done on day one will be redeemed to the worker after almost 20 days or even more.

 To make ends meet during this period, the worker will go to Sarpanch or the Contractor who will give them money as loan with 3-5% interest.

 They are the nice guys. They take care of the people who work under them.

 And yeah, government is doing its part.

 You know, the country is so big that it is so hard for the government to keep a check on every Sarpanch or Contractor.

 And roads?... If we make them permanent, they won't need any repairs every six months, and the people won't get more work. 

See...
