What do Prashant and other volunteers resist the plan to set up institutions for orphans and widows? Why alternatives do they consider?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The plan to set up institutions for orphans and widows was resisted because it was believed that in such institutions children will grow up without love and affection and widows would suffer from stigma and loneliness. Instead, Prashant and his group suggested that the children and widows should be resettled in their own community where they can get a homely environment. They suggested setting up of foster families made up of childless widows and children without adult care.
