“Child is the father of the man”. ‘Poot
ke paanw paalane me’. ‘Honhaar virvaan ke hot chikane paat’.
The meaning is clear. The seed is the
root of a tree. If the seed is good, tree will automatically be better.
Similarly, a good child becomes a good man. If primary education is bad, man
will naturally be bad. Good education in the childhood makes a man great
scholar where as bad habits produces criminals, robbers, murderers etc. The
children suffering from malnutrition cannot have robust health in future. When
they take nutritious food in youth period, only stomach develops, not the whole
body. Proper food, medical aids, education, habilitation etc. is urgent need for
appropriate development of a child.
I want
to bring attention towards these points. What is the fault of a child if he has
taken birth in a very (economically/socially) poor family. Why should he not be
given equal opportunity to develop? If equal atmosphere is provided, I don’t
think that there would be more differences in grown up stage.
Till a few years
back, girls were not allowed to come out and have proper schooling. Presently
when they have started proper studying, they have surpassed the boys.
Similarly, if suitable and equal opportunity is provided, there is no cause of
far differences.
I want
to give some suggestions. According to population, every village should have
child care centers. From the very pregnancy period, mothers should be kept in
proper supervision of the care centers. The centers should have all facilities
like food, lodging, medical aids; education etc. till the child is grown up.
Every child irrespective of cast, creed, wealth etc. should be kept in those
centers. There should be common schools, colleges for all children. The cost
should be borne by the government. No private school, private coaching should
be allowed. Surnames, castes should not be mentioned anywhere. I think, if
above suggestions are followed, a caste less society with equal status of all
will be created automatically. The problem of malnutrition, child labor etc.
will be abolished.
