English, asked by fabinfabz123, 6 months ago

A high- rise building or an overbridge or a monument has the

name of the person who inaugurated it or the one who donated

heavily for the construction, etc. installed on a marble placard right

at the entrance, but what about the ones who actually slog day

in and day out to get the building completed ? The construction

workers are like the unknown soldiers who are not remembered

once the war is over.

Mobile Creche , which was founded by MeeraMahadevan in

1969, helps the construction labourers by looking after their children

for them while the mother is busy working at the site.

The first crèche was a small tent by the Gandhi Centenary

Exhibition site where MeeraMahadevan was moved by the plight of

the children lying on the heaps of rubble while the mother worked.

Today , they run over 50 centres between their three branches in

Delhi, Mumbai and Pune. The crèche is built on the construction

site with the permission from the contractor because, after all, he

should be willing to help to bear some of the nominal expenses

of shelter, water, electricity etc. Some of them do so willingly, some

others have to be coaxed, but in the long run it does prove to

be beneficial for the contractor, because the efficiency of the

mother increases as she is happy and relaxed and not under any
(a) Why have the construction workers been referred to as

‘ unknown soldiers’ ?

(b) Why was the initiative of Mobile Creche taken by

Meera Mahadevan ?

(c) Where are crèches usually built?

(d) How did mobile crèche prove to be beneficial to

the contractor ?

(e) Whose name is written on a high- rise building or

a monument? Who is being ignored?​

c)Crèches are built on the construction site.

d)The mobile crèche proved to be beneficial to the contractor because the efficiency of the mothers who worked there increased when they saw their children were being taken care of.

e)Names of people who inaugurated or donated heavy sums for the construction of the monuments are written on them. The construction workers who risk their lives building these structures just to fill their families stomachs are ignored .

Mark as brainliest if helped.
