Read the passage and answer the following questions
If social change is to involve as it should, the quality of life, then the fundamental requirements are obvious: compulsory education up-to school leaving standards, the providing of basic health facilities and of social welfare. Education is included in the Constitution but rarely effectively implemented, doubtless through fear that it would challenge the status quo. There would have to be thousands more of schools, but if the teachers are from the village or from the neighborhood and given training, there would be more chances of their remaining on the job. The achievements of Kerala and Himachal Pradesh are a pointer to this requiring an effort of will rather than lavish expenditure.
The emphasis on the village and on the urban neighborhood providing personnel for medical clinics would also reduce the distant between the person and the institution. Informal organizations need not replace the more advanced institutions but could fill the interstices left by the latter. A sense of participation in the process of acquiring knowledge or healing one’s body can be effective in itself.
