Advantages of an umbrella approach to welfare amenities
There has always been some discussion or the other on the kind of subsidies being given to the most vulnerable sections of society. For the best of reasons, for example, we need to always have a robust public distribution system that will seek to give the best of benefits to the really poor people.Furthermore, in some States like Tamil Nadu, the school children are given free bus passes, free books, free uniforms and so on, in the Government schools. Since a huge chunk of people study in such environments, the enrolment ratio in schools at various levels, is always very high. And since engineering education has become very widespread in many Southern States and in States like Maharashtra, we do have huge reservoirs of talents available.
The key is the umbrella approach to such welfare amenities, which also addresses the vital issue of what we call social justice.
In the years to come, we need massive flow of funds from the Corporates, in terms of CSR funds to keep the spirit of such umbrella approaches to social welfare, well on track an more meaningful in terms of social welfare and social justice.
