India is a country with more than one billion people, and just one-third of them can read. The rapidly growing size of the population, shortages of teachers, books, and basic facilities, and insufficient public funds to cover education costs are some of the nation’s toughest challenges. This is where Children in India are facing basic challenges. According to a study, more than 30% of educational funds are allocated towards higher education, leaving primary education in India in sway. India is fourth among the top 10 nations with the highest numbers of out-of children at the primary level. Furthermore, the rate of school drop-outs amongst students is very high. One of the main reasons behind this is poverty. When earning a livelihood and taking care of the members of the family becomes a primary matter of concern in one’s life, education stands a little or, very often, no chance of pursuance. For the underprivileged people in India, education is perceived as a high-priced luxury, and this negative outlook continues on with every new generation. A disproportionate number of total out-of-school children in India are girls. What denies equal opportunities for children are serious social issues that have arisen out of caste, class and gender differences. The practise of child labour in India and resistance to sending girls to school in several parts of the country remain genuine concerns. If the current trend continues, millions of underprivileged children will probably never set foot in a classroom. India’s growth relies on a well-educated and skilled workforce. Improving education is a critical area of investment. ICC social acts helps in primary education can overturn the lives, careers and productivity of millions of its citizens. Already, a considerable proportion of the adult workforce in India is acutely under-equipped to be eligible for skilled and semi-skilled jobs. In order to build India as a consumer market of global standards, it is very important that every child reaps the benefits of quality education.
As much as 500 million of India’s total population live below the poverty level. These families live with living standards that are among the poorest in the world. Thousands of mothers, newborn babies and children in India die every year from preventable diseases. 27% of deaths of children below age 5 are because of prematurity, 14% due to respiratory infections and 11% due to diarrhoea. 66% of the rural population in India lacks access to preventive medicines. Healthcare is, by far, out of a poor man’s reach. About 75% of healthcare resources are concentrated in urban areas, where only 27% of the total population resides. 31% of the rural population in India has to travel over 30 km to get even the most urgent medical treatment. About 40% of the population in the metropolitan and large cities live in urban slums, where primary healthcare is provided by health posts. Most of the health posts are located outside the slum areas, making accessibility difficult. Healthcare is every child’s right but problems like lack of quality infrastructure, shortage of experienced medical functionaries and non-access to basic medicines and medical facilities avert its reach to over 60% of the child population in India. The need of the hour is to work collectively towards promoting health in areas, where the poor children manage to survive.
