Deba Prasad Roy India Nominee People Amateur "Labourers of Stone Quarry" LABOURERS OF STONE QUARRY - THIS IS PHOTOGRAPHED IN MALPAHARI IN THE STATE OF JHARKHAND, INDIA.THE MALE WORKERS HAMMERING THE BIG STONES TO MAKE SMALLER PIECES AND THE FEMALE WORKERS CARRYING THESE STONE PIECES TO A CRUSHER MACHINE NEXT DOWN THE GROUND. THERE IS A SEPERATE SET OF WORKERS PUT THESE STONES INTO A CRUSHER MACHINE, AND THEN THE MACHINE DELIVERS THE STONE CHIPS IN DIFFERENT SIZES. THROUGH THIS PHOTOGRAPH I WANT TO SHARE MY VIEWS THAT THE WORK WHICH CAN BE DONE BY A MECHANISED WAY, AND WHICH IS ALSO COST EFFECTIVE, IS NOT DONE IN INDIA. WITHOUT INVESTING CAPITAL, BUSINESS HOUSES ENGAGING LOW COST LABOUR FORCE, ESPECIALLY WOMEN. EDUCATED WOMEN ARE REQURED, NOT ONLY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR OWN FAMILY BUT ALSO PLAY A GREATER ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR COMMUNITY AS AWHOLE.
