Dear Sir,
ADVERTISEMENTS:
I shall be highly obliged if you would kindly leave a little space in your esteemed Daily to highlight the following.
Sir – “It is a sad commentary on our economy that a couple has had to sell off their child because they could not afford its upkeep on account of extreme penury. It is reported that extreme poverty forced one ____________ (Name) in the ____________ (Place) to sell his ____________ (Age) old ____________ (Child) to a couple for ____________ (Amount).
This is a clear testimony that family planning has not yet gained momentum in rural areas of India in spite of spending huge amount of money on this count. Panchayats must conduct door-to-door campaigns about family planning and the efficacy of birth control. Contraceptives should be made readily available. Development will be a distant dream unless growth of population is checked.”
Yours faithfully,
(Your Name)
