Programme overview

Today about 8 million children in India are out of schools due to poverty and disparity. Especially education of girl children is highly pathetic with the poor community. School children drop-outs were due to several reasons such as socio-economic condition of family, lack of motivation with the parents, loss of father in the family, etc., in which children were supposed to go for any work and support the family economy. This scenario is highly prevailing with community at rural areas and urban slums. Even though government is taking effort to ensure enrolments and reduce drop-outs, due to lack of social motivations the issue remains still.
