Importance of Health and Education in Kolkata

Health and education no doubt are the two most important and vital criteria in the overall development of a nation. In fact, it can be considered as the backbone of the progress as several other sectors are directly or indirectly dependent on it. These two terms may appear to be very simple from the outer prospective but their importance can indomitably felt everywhere. They both are closely bonded with each other and the positive or negative impact on one will surely influence the other as well. It also cannot be denied that the large part of the Government’s plans and economy revolves around these two terms and so the Central Government does not hesitate to propose to provide large funds for its development and progress every year in the Budget.

The job of the Central Government is to frame the plans and schemes for the people but it is the responsibility of the concerned department and the authorities to perceive whether or not these schemes have been implemented properly or not. If we particularly focus the discussion on Bengal, there has been a few questions raised over the health and education in Kolkata. Although the state machinery is playing its role, but it is such a large sector that the government officials lone cannot look into the entire issue. There has to be some other responsible body or organization which can monitor the important aspects of whether the programs are being implemented or not. The Government introduced the Right to Education Act under which it is compulsory for each and every child to receive education and go to school.

However, unfortunately still a large population of India’s next generation are deprived from this basic right and they cannot go to school. It is mainly due to the fact that these children belong to poor families and do not have adequate money to pay the school fee. As a result they have to also assist the family by doing some job which gives to child labour. However, there are many NGOs which run schools free of cost and also provide students with essential items such as books, copies and other stationary items. But the parents need to be made aware regarding such schools and one also has to explain them that why is it necessary to send their children to school or the vitality of education.

Another important area is health. Today people are very busy in their lives and life has really become very hectic. It has become common that most people tend to ignore health citing their busy schedule and work pressure. They do not have time for food and often skip their morning breakfast or lunch. A lot of people have developed stress because of the work load and they even cannot have a proper sleep at night. Many have developed back pain and are consuming tablets for it. The Health and education in Kolkata should not be ignored at any  cost if you want to stay a healthy, respectful and independent life.
