India has a population of over 1.2 billion people, with only one-third of them being able to read and write. Some of the country’s most difficult challenges include population growth, shortages of teachers, books, and basic facilities, and providing proper education to the poor. This is where North Indian children face their most basic challenges.
India ranks fourth among the top ten countries with the most out-of-school children of primary school. Furthermore, the number of students who drop out of school is extremely high. Poverty is one of the main reasons for this.
When earning a living and caring for one’s family members become the most important priorities in one’s life, education has little or no chance of being pursued. Education is seen as a high-priced luxury by the poor in North India, and this perception persists with each new generation.
In India, girls account for a disproportionately large share of all out-of-school children. Child labor in India and opposition to sending girls to school in certain sections of the country continue to be serious challenges. Millions of impoverished children will almost certainly never enter a classroom if the current pattern continues.
India’s economic development is dependent on a well-educated and talented workforce. Education is a crucial area in which to invest. We, as Global Helps Network, are changing the lives of marginalized children in North India by offering free tuition lessons to the needy. It is critical that every child benefits from great education in order to develop a better India.
