A specimen of the badge is appended hereunder.
DEMANDS
Food: 850 million people in the world are undernourished. India is on the top of nations with largest member of cases of malnutrition.
Water: Privatisation of water has caused havoc as it has become one of the most profitable enterprise. The people’s right to water(without which life cannot exist) is trampled upon in many countries in favour of Corporate profits.
Education: Education has become a commercial activity after the advent of neo liberal economic policies. The campaign for free education for all must be made intensive.
Health: Health is an extremely lucrative business. Govt. of India over the years since 1991 has withdrawn itself from this sector making private enterprises to thrive increasing the agony of the people.
Housing: A large number of our population has no dwelling place today. There is no governmental initiative in the matter in most of the countries. The poor people all over the world are left high and dry.
