Gandhi stated in this story that the true relief for the poor peasants was to be free of fear.
Even after independence, poor literacy rates, a lack of adequate nutrition, and a lack of access to sanitary facilities continue to plague India’s poor. Even though many government measures and schemes have been implemented, a lack of awareness of such schemes leads to the underutilization of these helpful measures.
However, a new trend has recently emerged. Non-governmental organizations, private companies, as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs, and concerned individuals have all pitched in to ensure and uplift the standard and quality of life for the poor and disadvantaged groups. The poor of India will be free of fear as people help one another and develop self-reliance and courage.
