Basically the people who are out of wealth and property are compelled to live in tents or Temporary Residence. They change their location regularly either to earn money or when they are asked to leave the place of inhabitancy by law enforcement agencies or by local Administrations. Their days and Nights are very difficult to them but they spend their time quietly.A piece of cloth “Tent” is everything to them and they bear the heat of summer, severe winter and rainy season but no body knows their sufferings.

Introduction

Basic Needs

Every person who comes to this world demands some needs from the Govt of that country. They have same as the followings:1. A house (but they are homeless)2. Proper food3. Education4. Health Facilities5. Job

Mode of earning

Job is not available to them by Govt. level so they are compelled to earn money at cheap rate of laboring. Some of them Nomadic (migratory) are: Beggars Labors at daily wages Vendors Toys sellerMax. earning of a migrator is 500-700 rupees. Due to high price rise of necessary things they can’t save the money!

“Education” The people living in tents are uneducated but they have some Islamic

Information, too. They teach their children “The Holy Quran”. They didn’t send their children to school because they have no money

and main reason that they change their place regularly! But 1 out of 1000 may be educated, like a migratory in Lahore passed

the examination of C.S.S Govt. should raise the steps for the education of such people to increase

the literacy rate.

Health FacilitiesThe nomadic have no health facilities! They have to travel to govt. hospital for many miles. They can’t bear the dieses’s treatment privately and many of them die because they are financially weak and can’t bear the treatment privately. Fresh water is not easily available to them! Sometimes Their children are compelled to eat unhygienic food which they collect from Trash of fruit market!!!!!

Questioning and Answering with a Migratory

We asked some questions from a Migratory “Wasif Ali” and he friendly answered us. Nabeel: “Why do you live in these tents and why not in house by

paying rent?” Wasif:” To earn the money for life we live in tents and we can’t afford

house on rent because we have not enough money”. Hadid: “Does the Government aid or support you financially” Wasif:” The Government doesn’t support and aid us. They have no

concern with us. They have no money for us except themselves only.”

Questioning and Answering with a Migratory

Hassan:” Why did you not get education and why are you not Educating your children?”.Wasif:” We can’t afford the expanses of education. And second reason is that we continuously migrate from one place to another.But I have learn the “Holy Quran” and we teach our Children the Holy Quran!!!”Izaz Rasool: “What is your source of Income and is it enough for you?”Wasif: “I use to sell the sweet on my bicycle and collect the used plastic, iron and shoes in return and I hardly make 500 rupees/day. My income isn’t enough to fulfil my family needs. If we eat one time we have to remain hungry for 2nd time

Thanks to Wasif!

Role of GovernmentUnfortunately the Government is not fulling it’s responsibilities regarding the people living in tents.

Govt should provide the basic needs of life to the Nomadic like: At least small homes (if not possible make a colony for them at any

specific place) Education Health Facilities Monthly aid or allowance (Like BISP Benazir Income Support

Programme) Better Job or Give them some “Technical Skills” ( Like Under TEVTA skills

programme etc)

Co-operation of the Rich people We also meet a rich person in our visit who was working for the facilities

of the people living in tents. Seeing him we feel that some people are alive who have sincerity with

Nomadics.

Our Responsibility They are part of our country. We should help them at all the Levels of

Nation Building. Being Student we should spare sometime and educate their children as

much as we can. At social level, for the sake of unity, we should share the happiness of

occasions like Eid-ul-Azha and Eid-ul-Fitar etc with them.

Summary The people living in Tents wants our attention. The difference between the rich and the poor is touching to an alarming

Situation in Pakistan. We should have to minimize it. Health facilities should be provided to them at their door. The Government of Pakistan should raise necessary steps for Education

and their better life. Govt. should adorn such people with Technical Education/Courses .With this prayer I end my presentation that “May the Life of people

living in tents change and they enjoy equal rights as citizens of Islamic Republic of Pakistan!”

Thanks!
