This is the underlying philosophy behind Jeffrey Sachs’s Millennium Villages Project. The villagers in the fortunate villages get free fertilizer, school meals, working health clinics, computers in their school, and much more. Total cost: half a million dollars a year per village.
Adding onto this idea, it would also be viable for the Indian govt to push “free insurance” to the families who send their kids to school. — just a random thought, should research more on this if it could be a viable solution.
