Thanks to Dr. Maboob Hossain of Niigata, Japan, for his concrete suggestion that he sent as a feedback to my mail on the above subject. Yes, of course I do agree with him that education is a must for all. But education alone will not help unless we can create jobs for these poor people so that they do not have to compel their children to earn money for their living at a premature age, which is absolutely inhuman. Our government can come forward to help the poor people to find suitable jobs. We, the common people, although we have all the feelings and ideas, are useless in this particular field.

However, along with education, we do need to establish some strict rules to be followed by all citizens to keep the size of our population according to the size of our land.
