Local Problems:
-
Unemployment
is very high at local level – some 60% plus – only 40% of the population has
work of any kind. Men get work for only 120-130 days in a year.
-
Accordingly, a significant number of landless farmers are forced to migrate to
metros and other richer states like Punjab, Haryana and Maharashtra, leaving
their families to the mercy of God.
-
The
official statements may differ but in our gender biased society, women get ½
the wages of men and a child gets 1/4th of this to work in the
fields. Slightly fortunate women manage home, gossip and put no output to
increase family income. They have no time to attend schools and, thus, cannot
escape the poverty that binds them.
-
Due to the lack of education and
knowledge a large population is still unaware of their commitment towards the
Environment protection.
Solutions:
-
Educate youth and engage them in income generation activities by providing
practical trainings to become self-dependent and not a burden on family and
nation
-
Bring to homes environment friendly low-cost
products and
technologies in fields of housing, energy
generation and conservation, health, sanitation, applied agriculture that are
able to generate or save monies and environment
-
Promote home based
Micro-industries, and get idle women force get involved in productive ways.
-
Develop suitable local
infrastructure, forward and backward linkages for sustainability
The dream projects of SUN are based
on these solutions and ability to handle above mentioned problems with
innovative local solutions. Interested to become partner in our endeavour??.
