HYDERABAD: A pre-Ramzan survey to assess the post-Covid-19 socio-economic situation of Muslim community in the Old City has revealed that about 15% of children had dropped out of schools to work as child labour and one-third of the households have women as lone breadwinners.
The survey of 5,000 Muslim households in the Old City also revealed that 38% homes do not have white ration cards and 74% live in rented houses. Absence of a white ration card deprived them of benefits such as Aasara pension, PDS ration, health insurance, Shadi Mubarak, cooking gas subsidy and housing scheme of the state government.
