A sad thing about the Indian education system is the fact that its focus is only on urban clusters. There are hardly any decent centers of learning in the rural areas. This is especially true in terms of higher education. If a country has to actually develop, urban and rural developments have to go hand in hand. Rural individuals, belonging to all age groups and backgrounds pay adequate attention to their health conditions. Elderly individuals are required to make visits to healthcare centers on a regular basis to get their check-ups done. But in the case of severe health problems and illnesses, individuals are even required to make visits to urban areas. When individuals spend their savings on medical treatment, then they do experience financial constraints in meeting other requirements. Hence, taking care of health care needs may use financial resources, thus giving rise to poverty.
