Answer:
Roti, Kapda Aur Makan' ( bread, clothes, and shelter) are basic requirements for an individual to survive. Often due to poverty, people don't get two square meals a day and hygienic potable water to drink. Many children suffer from malnutrition or undernutrition. Clothes come next to cover the body so as to face the vagaries of the weather. One cannot survive without covering the body adequately during chilly winters. A shelter is also required for protection from adverse weather conditions and as a protection from wild animals. Only after fulfilling such basic needs, the turn of healthcare systems, education, and such other things comes. Many people still don't have a proper toilet facility, both in rural and urban areas in metropolitan cities. Owning a vehicle, electronic gadgets, smartphones, television, refrigerators, etc. comes only when electricity is made available to all
