On the other loans help them to become self-employed. hand, it is also argued that it may tend to This will also help in the development and increase the growth rate of population, growth of industries. Instead of giving because development provides people these subsidised loans, if you give them more means to feed larger families. doles or employment allowance, it may so Whichever point of view is true, there is no happen that they are not induced to work denying the fact tnat rapid development is at all. People would not like to work either absolutely necessary for any country with on farms or in factories, and there will not or without the problem of rising population. be any enthusiasm on the part of the Greater developmental activities in farms people to work and earn.

These loans should not be given to time. This obviously creates a declining rich people. I say this because it is seen trend with regard to the growth rate of that sometimes affluent people manage to population.
