What is 'case study'? Case, we mean any family, individual and community on which the entire conclusion is drawn. On various cases, we study various/different topics and study/draw our inferences and conclusions. As a student, I have tried to select two cases on individuals' community group. First group is of the people who are living in the remote or village areas below poverty line. For second case study, I have selected middle income or higher income groups. I have tried to draw major inferences according to my own knowledge and gathering of data and conclusions drawn are also entirely mine.
