IT widens Economical and Social inequalities in India
In the underdeveloped countries the common man is poor, illiterate and concerned with the basics of survival; more than four-fifths of his income is spent on food alone. He is hungry, undernourished, and diseases such as malaria, sleeping sickness, and cholera are his constant companions. Children suffer more than adults; kwashiorkor and parasitic diseases claim many of their lives before they reach the age of ten. Only abut 40% of the children complete primary school. [3]
