Price Rising

Sir,
The problem of rising prices is common all over the world. But this problem is more serious in India than anywhere else, because the prices of essential commodities are going high day by day. The Government is unable to control the prices of necessary goods. The rise in prices is natural in a developing country like India. But when it is out of control, it causes great difficulties for the masses. It is a great curse to poor class.
India is a backward country. Production is not so enough to meet the needs of her people. So there is a shortage of everything. It causes rise in prices. India is facing the great problem of over population. But production does not increase in same ratio as the population increases. So peoples’ need cannot be met. The prices go high because people waste too much money and material on social and religious functions. There is much waste at the time of marriages, births or deaths. People should be taught to be get rid of orthodoxy. Hoarding and black marketing have made the situation worse.
The Government should try to increase production and convince people of advantage of family planning. Production should be increased by using scientific methods. The Government should impact technical and scientific training to the industrial workers to enable them to increase poduction so as to bring about a fall in the prices of essential commodities. Let the Government not sleep over this serious issue. Let it do something to lessen the misery of the teeming millions of people of India.
