Ferdinand Tonnies conceptualized Gemeinschaft (community) and Gesellschaft (society) to differentiate social relationships.
Many families in our country are unable to meet even the basic needs of their members and/or access as well as utilise the various services provided by other structures of the society due to various reasons, one of them being lack of resources, especially financial. Further, many children, youth and elderly are separated from their families and are left to cope on their own. By themselves, they find it difficult to meet their own needs.
