"By humility and the fear of the lord are riches, honour and life" - Proverbs 22:4

Why is it that we are directed to 'fear the lord' here will be the question arising in the minds of most. Well, I answer this by what I have derived from my interpretations and that is- only those who lack wisdom have to be asked to fear the lord to make them act in accordance with morals.

The fields that are thoroughly researched in the making of the report include- Economics, Psychology, National Statistics,  Survey Analysis and Public Policy to name a few. Through which of these fields can we set out to make an impact? Economics and Public Policy?  Well,  how do you answer this when corporate hubs like Gurugram and Mumbai come to a standstill just because of water logging due to the 'awaited' rains! Psychology and Surveys?  How do you answer this when major respondents are illiterate? We take pride in our dem...
