Why do Prashant and other volunteers resist the plan to set up institutions for orphans and widows? What alternatives do they consider?
The plan of setting up the institutions for orphans and widows was repelled because they thought in such institutions the children won’t get the necessary love and affection and the widows would suffer from stigma and loneliness. Instead of that, Prashant and his group wanted them to be resettled in their own community and get homely environment. They also suggested setting up of foster families with childless widows and children without a guardian to be taken care.
