Lack of responsibility and sincerity of some of the faculty members to change and think differently and also initially the precarious nature of some of the rural students to mix with others. A bit of money and empathy, sympathy, and compassion toward students are the main resources required for the implementation of this practice. The sincere devotion and commitment of all the faculty members and the office staff are also a must-have.
