The Indian government has failed to ensure the Right to Survival, Right to Development and Right to Protection to children.Anything that causes a violation of a child’s rights like female infanticide or child labor, is a sign of some serious problems which need to be tackled to the earliest. One out of four children is out of school in India.
The stats of census 2011 say that a total of 99 million children has dropped out. Only 32 out of every 100 children are able to finish their school education properly. Kidnapping and abduction of children in our country is at such level that around 150 children go missing every day. Poverty automatically leads to malnutrition and this is the reason why about twenty million children who are below the age of 6 are undernourished in India. 9.6% of children are lucky enough to receive a well nutritional diet. Due to poverty, the mothers had to opt for the traditional way of giving birth. Since they can’t afford a hospital, about 21% of births in the country were home births (NFHS, 2015-16). Most of the pregnant women belonging to the poor background are found to be anaemic.Child marriages have always been a high concern in India. About 45 lakh girls are married under the age of 15 and many of them even have kids. Now imagine a mother handling her child at her teenage!The need of the hour is to find a proper solution and strategy to eradicate poverty from our country. We have to come together and join hands to improve this rather than just sitting out there on that couch.
