'Homework Outsourcing' by Indian Kids

Till now we have heard of outsourcing of IT services but "Homework Outsourcing" & that too by Indian Kids, it may seem altogether a different thing. But many Kids in India are doing exactly the same thing during their summer vacations. Such kids always come back to school after vacations with wonderfully crafted science projects, charts & neat homework, all courtesy Outsourcing of such work.

Meet Shalu Bangar, a class VIII student of New Delhi Public School who was happily holidaying in Jalandar city in Punjab while others were working hard to finish her project on industrial waste for a sum of Indian Rs.300/- (US$ 7.5 only).

Shalu says, “I had gone to Punjab and I had so many other things to do so I gave them my project. I hope I get good marks now.”

This is a homework factory - from arts and craft projects to the lifecycle of a butterfly you name it they will make it for you. All you have to do is shell out anything between Indian Rs 100 to Rs 300 (US$ 2.5 to 7.5) and you are all set to become the apple of your teacher's eye.

The owner of Melody Projects Manoj Kumar says, “We keep in mind the student's budget; it should look like the student has made it. And we try and ensure that the student scores well.”

Interesting, isn't it. What's your say on it ? Readers comments are invited.
