Answer
Weaker section of society in India in ordinary sense refers to the section of population who are socially, economically, politically and educationally backward than the other section. They suffer due to their backwardness. Our constitution has many provisions for welfare of weaker sections in Indian society. The Directive principles provide us guideline for drafting policies for them.
If I would have been made Minister of Social Welfare, I would have given emphasis on their education because education is the ultimate tool that can help them to uplift their conditions. They should be aware about their rights. My priorities for their upliftment would have been:
- Providing them with healthcare and education facilities.
- Self employment schemes for them in order to make them self dependent.
- Provisions for vocational training of men and women.
- Eradicating corruption as it will help to realization of all the policies made for the people.
