QUOTES

Strengthen the rural areas and you will find less people migrating to urban areas. You give them opportunity, self respect & self confidence, they will never go to an urban slum.

Mass produced goods like plastic shoes, buckets, ropes and power mills producing cheap inexpensive cloth are threatening the lives of thousands of leather workers, potters, traditional rope makers and weavers. Their traditional markets have been taken away from them. Their skills are dying. And they are being forced to migrate to the slums in cities looking for any job.
