A postcard by Vikas Prajapati from New Delhi proposes a subsidy on clothes for under-previledged children.

India is the world’s second largest textile and apparel producer in the world and is estimated to be worth over $110 billion. It represents about 4% of our country’s GDP and about 14% of our export earnings every year. On the other hand, India is home to over 30% of world’s poor children living in extreme poverty. These children have no access to basic essentials including clothing. The glaring gap is astonishing! Avantika proposes a cloth subsidy for the poorest of children in India.
