Children of underprivileged sections of society are found to be better in natural, rhythmic, social and kinesthetic intelligence. They are creative but their creative expressions are different. They are good at terracotta works, designs from leaf, seeds, flowers, etc. Teaching for them can be linked with these activities so that their creative abilities get recognised right from the beginning This would reduce the incubation time for these people so that they can also get vocation immediately after completing education.
