So a large portion of people suffering a miserable situation without having proper food, education and health. This creates a massive difference between the upper and lower portion of society.

Land is considered a valuable asset for all of us. In simple term if we define what is land we can say that it is that part of earth surface which is not covered by water and which is dry, but in real sense we are bothered that part of  the land which is usable for human survival and development. We know that earth is containing three part of water and one part of land. But in this one part of land people are not able to use that part of land which is situated in high hill area, desert area and the area which is covered with dense forest. So, the land which is near the river is very much valuable and precious for human being. For survival land is considered a productive capital.
