The problem
In any country weather it's india or ant other the main cause why these things such as (Terrorism, Drug abuse, etc.) and many many problems exists all because of lack of education If people are educated they will see these things with a different prospective like we are seeing now. But there's a problem with education it seems simple but I have experienced this that Education in India sucks. People tend to go to private schools instead of public because they are very bad. The conditions there are inhuman, Teachers are not educated enough to teach children and poorest of the poor goes there not to receive education but to get food they serve in lunch. I mean If you are a in a poor middle class family you will send your children to private school but there's a problem with private schools.
Problem with private schools
Private school are meant to exploit people's money Teachers want to make student's score high so as schools because marks matter not education it's a business where you have to show numbers to people so that more people send their wards next year. Teachers are told to make children to achieve more and it feels that they are not willing to spread education. Receiving a salary of about 100-1000$ per month 1000$ is rare. So that how it goes I myself experienced all this I have wasted most of the time of my school days just to copy stuff on my notebooks as proof of work that can be shown to parents by teacher.
Let's break down the problem
Role of government?
- Government is responsible for providing quality education to people and students. Public schools should have all the facilities including teachers with great knowledge. But the hard fact is it's quite possible that even if you have knowledge. You will be deprived from job because of corruption. Teachers are appointed by the force of big politicians and corruption. The skilled youth is jobless and corruption lets unskilled people rule. Even India is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Even If government somehow sends funds for development of public schools. It goes in the pocket of elites and they show the development on paper. You may be shocked but in India no-one wants to go in public school because condition there are inhuman no benches, no light, no textbooks etc. The people who go to government schools are poorest of the poor. They go because government offer special privileges for them food, clothes, textbooks. And in a recent incident children died after eating meal offered in school. The government isn't caring much because no-one speaks out the rich class cares about themselves. Voice of poor is suppressed. That's the reality

Role of school?
- Talking of schools I am mentioning private schools here because government schools aren't schools at all. People are forced to send their wards to private schools. Private schools due to this fact don't need to campaign and market their school every time there are more applicants they are just making big buildings so that they can accumulate as much as they can and fill up their pockets. They just have to make students score good in exams so that they can show it to parents and build up their reputation. They are turning students into slaves. Teachers if want to give students they can't because the system is based on marks. Forget about knowledge we need marks. Parent's feel satisfied when they see their ward scoring good marks. Students are pressurized to score marks. Everything is messed up.
Role of parents?
- Parents? huh' what they can do they have gone through the same phase same schooling system. They just have to earn hard to pay hard, Brainwashed by private schools marketing, Banners and advertisement. Want to see their ward happy and successful in life, forced by schools to believe that their child have to study whole day to be successful. He has to leave the computers and other stuff and have to dedicate all his time for studies. But we know after dedicating more than a quarter of life studying and learning stuff that's not applicable to real life. People end up unemployed or doing shitty jobs with salary of 100-1000 $ per month their whole life and make their children's sit on the same track, on the same train, in the same school, same life. And the cycle repeats itself.

Causes-
Poor agriculture-
- India is a agricultural country about 80% of people depend on agriculture.
- But agriculture is in bad way, Farmers are uneducated and poor.
- There is a lack of modern farming methods.
- There is a shortage of good farming facilities
- Seeds and fertilizers are not available on time
- Agriculture is not profitable today
Growing Population-
- India's population is growing day by day. But resources are limited. Each day the population increases by 0.01 billion. As population grows there is a need for food, shelter, Hospitals. There is no money to spend on development projects. The overgrowing rate of population of India must be checked.
Gap between rich and poor-
- The widening gap between rich and poor is one of the main reasons behind India's poverty. Rich are becoming richer, poor are becoming poorer. the economic gap between two must be reduced. India's social system must be changed.
Corruption and black money-
- There are corruptions in every walk of life. There is inefficiency in offices. people have become selfish. they don't care about national interests. Black money causes the problem of inflation. Some people enjoy all the privileges. But many others are suffering. It has drastic effect on India's economy.

Great post
it's kind of scary to think about. that makes it hard for people to learn about blockchain and nice things like steem.
Yes it takes time to understand how it works, applications and how it can change the world the early you get in the early you get in the more it will benefit you it's actually a bit hard to understand at first. But so was the internet in past. Internet when came out was hard for people to understand. But now no-one can live without that I feel the same for blockchain and crypto- currency it has power to change and disrupt every central thing exploiting people's money 😉. We need to educate people about this world

Great article so far. Commenting so I can come back and finish when I have the time. Thanks for sharing!
Nicely Written, their is always a starting point. If you have heard the awesome work done by the Delhi Government in the education sector. The main aim of the government should be increase the accessibility of Government School And Colleges. The povertu can be removed only by education is what I think.
to understand the problem of a system we must first understand its purpose. To make people job ready? that's what it seems to be doing, how is it failing? what is the failure? why do you want to enforce order into peoples behavioral patterns? you people are the real source of the problem in india, agreeing without entertaining self thought. ughhhh
Yeah that's true sometime people go through these situation in every country.. and the way seats got booked for donation is a shameful thing... And even the educated people this kind of stuff just to maintain their reputation but why they can't even see they are destroying someone else life.. that is disgusting...
