Why do Prashant and other volunteers resist the plan to set up institutions for orphans and widows? What alternatives do they consider?

After the devastation, the government wanted to set up institutions for the orphaned and the widowed but Prashant and other volunteers resisted the plan as they felt that this would deprive children of the love and care they needed. The widows would suffer from stigma and loneliness.

Prashant and the volunteers wanted that them to be resettled in their own community in new foster families.
