1. Introduction
Out of total workforce 90% of the workers are working in unorganized sector like
agriculture, salt pan industries, fisheries, forestry, plantation, and livestock. Conditions of
unorganized rural workers are pathetic and continue to deteriorate further due to uncertainties
of employment and migration. Since the workers in the unorganized rural sector in general
suffers from low earning and lack of stability, it has not been possible to extend them the
benefit of a contribution oriented or employers liability oriented social security scheme.
Various social security schemes are implements by the Govt. of Gujarat through Rural
Workers Welfare Board which are aimed to ameliorate the conditions of rural labourers, but
the result is not to the expectation, because the government efforts alone would not bring
change in the conditions of these poorest among the poor like landless agriculture labourers
and salt pan workers. What is required is the creation of awareness and leadership among this
class of people, therefore organizing them is the most important task. Organizing rural
Labour is not an easy task as working conditions vary from place to place as well as workers
are scattered over a large area and are subjected to exploitation and other vices like liquor and
bondage etc. Legislations for such rural Labour have only marginal effect. G.R.W.W.Board
has initiated several measures for awareness among rural workers as well as to organize them
through the rural workers welfare centres. Social Security measures which gives umbrella
protection to them but what is required is dedication and sustained efforts on the part of
executives vis-avis-the active participation of labourers themselves.

his scheme provides for upliftment of socio economic level of rural worker. By imparting
education and training programme, it helps to increase the confidence of the workers. he
village level centres educate the rural masses for programmes and provisions of the various

But we also observed that there is mismanagement of fund and the benefits not reaching to
the end users. hey are not much aware about various programmes ran under this scheme and
as such they are not able to attend that programmes. he procedure for getting various benefit
are lengthy and tough and there are corruption in the department.

1. Introduction
Developing the human capital of nations especially the intellectual, social, mental, and
physical abilities of children and adolescents is fundamental to the improvement of the
quality of life of the citizens. Developing human capital is also critical for nations to enjoy
political stability and economic growth. ºations that have invested in health and education

cognitive performance in school, but also their ability to attend and stay in school over the

to be addressed continuously. -t is in this regard that the public health system of a nation has
an important role to play. Health agencies working with educational systems have the
potential to reach billions of young people worldwide.
Accordingly, in 1909, Sir Sayajirao Gaikwad, King of Baroda, started School Health
Programme in Baroda region. -t was the first school health program in the Country. -n 1946

-ndia and where they existed they were in an underdeveloped stage. -n 1953, the secondary
Education committee emphasized the need for medical examination of students and school
feeding programme.
-n keeping with these developments and to ensure good health for our school children the
state of Gujarat has launched a major School Health Programme. his is the single, largest,
health programme operating in the state of Gujarat for last 8 years.
' Detection of health related problems that are commonly occurring amongst primary
school children
' Screening of children for appropriate referral,
' Building of health awareness in the community through primary school children and
' Follow-up arrangements for detailed check-up and treatment of referral cases at Govt.
Health Facilities

undertook primary screening. Referral services were provided at the Primary Health Centers.

Introduction
Higher education is expense:
Higher education has become very expensive these days. Right from the pre-primary
to post-graduation, education is becoming highly professional and sophisticated. he era of
government funded high schools and colleges is over and such institutions are now slowly
disappearing. As a result, the parents in the middle class and the upper middle class families
find it very difficult to provide a professional education such as medicine or engineering to
their children. Even if the student is very intelligent and achieving high ranks, however, as
the cost of education in the form of tuition fee, books, stationary, living expenses in hostels
and miscellaneous expenses have sky-rocketed, it has become a distant dream for a person
with an average income, to provide a higher education for his or her children. As a result, in
absence of proper financial planning and securing scholarships, a bright student may have to
compromise in education. his is not a matter of getting tensed or frustrated but it is a matter
of being alert and well prepared so that the student can pursue an education of choice and
liking.
he self governed schools offering education up to Std. 10th and not depending on the
government grants are already very expensive. he same situation persists in Std. 11th and
Std. 12th. Amongst this, the education is science stream is even more expensive. here are a
lot of expenses involved in coaching classes for Std. 12th science as well as the entrance
examinations for the various professional degree courses available after Std. 12th science.
49
c c
-f an advance preparation for meeting the educational expenses after Std. 12th science
is not done then it is very important to prepare for the various scholarships, bank loans,
community loans etc. Hence, the parents and guardians of the students are advised to make an
advance preparation in form of availing bank loans or any other financial assistance for the
educational expenses that are going to incur.
Without any prejudice towards any private trusts or organizations, we would like to
inform the parents and students, there are certain trusts and institutions that demand fees for
providing the information booklets and application form for filing for the scholarships. -t
should be borne in mind that the institutes that offer scholarship assistance will never ask for
money in form of application form and information booklets. Hence one should cultivate this
understanding and proceed with caution while proceeding to avail any help from any
institution to avoid any inconveniences at a later stage.

Higher education has become very expensive these days. Right from the pre-primary to post-
graduation, education is becoming highly professional and sophisticated. he era of
government funded high schools and colleges are over and such institutions are now slowly
disappearing. As a result, the parents in the middle class and the upper middle class families
find it very difficult to provide a professional education such as medicine or engineering to
their children.
We have conducted the survey of 100 respondents. From the response of the respondent we
can generalize that most of the beneficiaries of the scheme are not satisfied or not in favour of
the present condition of the scheme. hey required modification in the current scheme as it
has some drawbacks like the amount paid is not sufficient, the process is very much lengthy
and tedious so many students who are eligible are not going for it, delays in the payment of
amount etc. Scholarship programme does help them to reduce the burden of their family
regarding his/her study. here are expenses other than the tuition fee like Residential
expenses (for those who are not the native), Lodging expenses, the scheme does not provide
for all these expenses, which have significant part in the total expenses. We also find that
there is ratio of bias in the distribution of scholarships, so there should transparency in the
process.
