Due to the availability of certain health resources and facilities only to the rich people, at many instances, the poor people are facing lot many problems at different situations and times. Due to the availability of valued education to only a particular sector of people many people are not able to provide quality education to their children. Even with regard to the employment opportunities people are facing problems due to the inequalities in providing jobs.

The Government should make proper laws in providing health care facilities at very low cost/no cost to the poor sector of people and must make the provision of quality health care facilities. In terms of providing quality education also, special schools have to be set up for the upbringing of the children of poor parents. Those who are unemployed, must be provided with jobs at right time and situation, so as to give them good psychological feed.

Persons should take the problems to the notice of the government and should give the possible or implementable ideas also, so as to solve the problems of the community thus can help to the good health of the community.
