Children a major concern for the nation



Women and children are usually regarded as the weakest section's of Indian society. Even though their conditions and welfare have already undergone  rapid changes in the post independence era, There exist  a lot of unsolved issues connecting them and their full fledged development is yet a dream..

Children, the expectation of our future India need a rapid concern and their education, nutrition, health, and food are the elements that should be fulfilled at the earliest in order to make our country a super power.Even though our government ensures free and compulsory education till the age of 14(viii Th std) and soon up to the age of 16(x Th std),there are no successful workout for the plans.Still we have a group of Young population who are exploited for hazardous jobs,beggary,sex etc.When the cases on the same above acts goes on increasing, How can we expect a successful outcome from the coming class of young population?





According to the reports released by National University of Education Planning and Administration(NUEPA), India's child drop out rate is still so high. Nearly 100% enrolment in the std I is one of the development goal the nation has achieved ahead of time but the drop out rate remain unchanged. It is estimated that in 2009-2010 133.4 million children enrolled in class I-V but only 54.5 million made it to class VI to VIII. Most of the children dropping out of the schools practically end up with no education at  all.,Statistics says more than 75% of the dropout's quit before class III-V, Also even the school going children are not learning enough. So it is time to renovate right to education act and to generate some practical solution for these issues.




It is also estimated that  a major share of the dropouts becomes the working class because of poverty and ignorance.They work under extremely dangerous and unhealthy surroundings,Child labour is a very common scenario particularly in the northern states. It is proved that 42%(over 1 lakh infants) of Indian children are malnutritional, And 59% suffer from stunning.Various programmes undertaken by the government has not flourished to the expected figures. A rapid and constructive development is urgently required. Children being the future of our nation should be brought up in order to achieve the concept of super power.


Here we want million smiles...
