Community programs must foster more creativity and innovation among underprivileged youths to help support education and skill development for the underprivileged youth.
All community programs give vocational training, from technical to soft skills, with courses such as hospitality, tourism, sewing, pottery, crafts-making, banking, IT, carpentry, and masonry. Yes, community programs give job-oriented skills and life skills are necessary for underprivileged students to foster learning and to prevent them from dropping out. However, for such skill development activities, community programs need more capacity-building for their teachers and proper supervision and monitoring of the activities.
Community programs must also give importance to the facilities and infrastructure of the school. For example:- basic facilities like clean drinking water, electricity and well-ventilated classrooms are crucial.
To foster an environmentally conscious environment, community programs must focus on sanitation and waste management in the curriculum and innovative practices in mid-day meal schemes like growing food with the community. For instance:- Introducing community gardens.
Zero tolerance of social discrimination is vital for this group of students. Introducing innovative programs and activities in the curriculum to remove these stigmas is essential.
Deserving students must receive scholarships and financial aid.
There needs to be a dedicated mechanism to supervise all these programs or else there will be no desired outcome and a holistic learning experience for the underprivileged youths.

The common belief that girls are always required to think and dress carefully is not solely about gender. Both boys and girls may need to consider their actions beforehand. It’s not simply a matter of gender; sometimes it’s dictated by the environment, community, or safety concerns. In Indian society, children, especially girls, are closely guarded. It’s an undeniable fact that our society is not entirely safe for children or people in general; that’s the reason, particularly girls are asked to be more vigilant towards their actions and dressing sense.
In our society, it’s a common struggle for people to embrace broader perspectives. Frequently, there is a tendency to be more protective of daughters than sons because some believe that boys can fend for themselves, whereas girls may require additional protection. Females have faced more stringent social standards and harsher forms of judgment compared to their male counterparts which is the sole reason why girls are asked to be more careful of their conduct in public. Today, girls are not the only ones facing judgment; boys are also criticized if their behavior does not meet societal expectations.
Let’s not ignore the growing number of assault cases day by day. It’s not that these cases increase because of girls dressing inappropriately, rather it reflects the nature of the society we live in and the type of people we are surrounded by. We cannot do anything to change people’s mindsets, what we can do on our behalf is keep ourselves safe from any danger or harm that might fall upon us.
