• These opportunities were as follows:
• (i) Christian missionaries began setting up schools for tribal groups and lower-caste children. These children were thus equipped with some resources to make their way into a changing world.
• (ii) Job opportunities were opening up in the cities. There was work in the factories that were coming up and jobs in municipalities.
• (iii) The demands of labor as diggers, carriers, coolies, sewage cleaners, bricklayers, palanquin bearers, sweepers, rickshaw pullers increased.
