16. Who will do this Work?

Have you seen such scenes around you?

Have you ever thought of people who do this work? Can you imagine how they would feel?

Why do you think people need to do this kind of work?

Our friends spoke to some staff who do cleaning jobs. Here are some of the things they told us

Q. Since when have you been doing this work? 

A. About twenty years. Since I completed my studies.

Q. Why did you not study further? You could have got some other job? 

A. You need money for studies. And even after that most of our people continue to do this kind of work.

Q. What do you mean?

A. Since our great grandfathers’ times... or even before that, most people of our community have been doing this work. Even after getting a college degree, our people do not get any other kind of job. So they have to do this work.

Q. Why is that so?

A. That is the way it is. In the entire city, all the people who do this kind of work are from our community. It has always been so.

• Did the elders in their family also do this work?
• What kind of difficulties do they face in doing this work?

• Which five jobs would you not choose? Why? Discuss
• What kinds of work or jobs do people not want to do? Why?
• So, who does this kind of work? Why do people do this kind of work that others do not want to do?

Imagine

• What would happen if nobody did this work? If nobody cleared the garbage lying outside your school or your house for one week, then what would happen? Think of some ways (machines, or other things) so that people would not have to do the work they don't like to do. Draw a picture of what you thought.
