90 hrs, 70 hrs, 20 hrs are a kind of measure, stressing on hardwork and effective work to boost the production faster to raise the national competence. So many people including Mr Sekar once would have done not less than 16 hrs work per day; that meant, 112 hrs per week. I had done that. So many would be doing it even now. As Far as KPR is concerned, I heard him in Kalyanamalai on a Sunday morning. I could appreciate the formation of his brothers whom he strained hard and educated the bros, and they are responding to his call, as Bharatha lakshman. But women's emancipation is remarkable. He took in service uneducated or ordy women for service and gave them education at an exorbitant cost of his profits; when in public welfare GOD takes care of Him. K R IRS 17125
