Book Description

About The Book

New methods of investigation and analysis have been used in this survey and its conclusions thus have more precisions that usual; but the same story has already been told in different ways by many others. Some families cannot be fitted for a normal life in the community by grants of material aid or by the work of services that are each concerned only with one aspect of their troubles. They must, in a sense, be "converted" to a new way of life. The only means yet discovered for doing this is the personal influence of someone prepared to help them in every way that is needed.

It may be protested that this would involve an impertinent interference in people's affairs. The foundation of the welfare state, it could be argued, is the consent of all its members to live according to a certain fashion of cleanliness and orderliness; but if some citizens reject this fashion, make little use of the services provided for them, fail to keep to the approved standards and become a nuisance to their fellows, then they should be permitted to contract out. There is no need to bully or cajole them into conformity.

It must be admitted that some of the complaints made against such people by those in the social services sound like the grumbles of respectable citizens against neighbours with a more Bohemian way of life. But the experience of many is that these "non conformists" are often most unhappy people, who are childishly delighted when someone offers to help them. After all, it is not pleasant-even for Bohemians-to be half starved, in continuous bad health, deserted by their husbands and wives, and burdened by large families in overcrowded homes. And if they are to be helped at all, then surely the visits of one worker, prepared to help in any way possible, would be less of an interference than those of the half-dozen at present calling for different reasons?

Preface

Education in free India has under gone great changes. In order to meet the interests and aspirations of the people of India, democratic Governments in India have appointed Commissions and Committee to suggest and recommend Changes.

New methods of investigation and analysis have been used in this survey and its conclusions thus have more precisions that usual; but the same story has already been told in different ways by many others. Some families cannot be fitted for a normal life in the community by grants of material aid or by the work of services that are each concerned only with one aspect of their troubles. They must, in a sense, be "converted" to a new way of life. The only means yet discovered for doing this is the personal influence of someone prepared to help them in every way that is needed.

It may be protested that this would involve an impertinent interference in people's affairs. The foundation of the welfare state, it could be argued, is the consent of all its members to live according to a certain fashion of cleanliness and orderliness, but if some citizens reject this fashion, make little use of the services provided for them, fail to keep to the approved standards and become a nuisance to their fellows, then they should be permitted to contract out. There is no need to bully or cajole them into conformity.
