no!

the people demand opportunities for employment and to earn a decent wages! they do not want handout or alms!

the poltical government has no policy nor programme for that sort of environment! it needs imaginative economy managers who are adept with business & industry! unfortnately we lack such persons at the helm! they should be sincere in their attitde towards self reliance and development of the nation. the present crop of national leaders want the people to depend on them and can be cajoled/manuplated to vote them back!

Government is yet to understand the basics.Or purpose they want to ignore the reality.Give them work,give them education,make the work hard and let them earn.And then let them spend money to buy food.
