The Beginning


I walk to a street
and wait for u
I waited for the things to happen,
U walked in and let that happen
I met u and wham, bam, I was completely in LOVE :p

I cud hear ur voice, every soft and the tone
I cud feel the splash on ur eyes
Before I thought of toweling those bubbles, u said
"I gotta go "


Me, then, whiled away the days
thinking bout the lovely U
ignited myself with the feelings
and let it burn me inside of me

Months passed and there
continued the silly darkness
before a twinkling star fell,
There shined my MOON and wished me Hi!
A spark of hope flamed me everywhere, again

Again I waited for the things to happen
U walked in and let that happen
I cud feel ur voice inside of me
U heard the splash on my eyes
Before I cud say a word, u said
"I LOVE U "

SECURING MY FUTURE

If we believe the very first lesson of our 1st standard social studies,we have to believe that "Children are the future of the nation".Now a days the statement doesn't makes any sense.We have entered our 64 years of in dependency and we all know the fact that half of our children are illiterate.

The irony reason behind the cause is Poverty. more than half of the Indian children belongs to the BPL parents.


Education in our country is provided under Public Sector under the funds from Federal, State and local levels.


There are the modalities of the provision of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution
its since then the state's excellency has improved comparatively.







here are few statistics surveyed by the smile foundation, the level of children concern of our country for the year 2002


* Less than half of India's children between the age 6 and 14 go to school.

More than 50% of India's children are malnourished.

It is the time to take collective as well as individual responsibility to remedy the present situation is here.

As a concerned citizens do something about it; something meaningful, something concrete, something urgently. No more do we have the luxury of blaming the system or postponing our actions.

STOP CHILD RAPE

HERE ARE THE FEW RECORDS DONE IN THE YEAR 2008
Uttar Pradesh tops the list of States and Union territories with the highest number of 900 child rape cases in 2008 only followed by Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.

According to the latest data by the Ministry of Home Affairs for three years, cases of child rape continue to rise as a total of 4,721 cases were registered during 2006, 5,045 in 2007 and 5,446 in 2008 across the country.

Police have arrested 5,489 people in 2006 for their involvement in such crimes, 5,756 in 2007 and 6,363 in 2008.

Madhya Pradesh registered 892 such cases, Maharashtra (690), Rajasthan (420) and Andhra Pradesh (412) in 2008, the data said.

A total of 411 such cases were registered in Chhattisgarh, 301 in Delhi, 215 in Kerala, 187 in Tamil Nadu, 129 in West Bengal, 106 in Punjab and 104 in Tripura, it said.

Whereas, Gujarat has registered 99 cases, Karnataka 97, Bihar 91, Haryana 70, Himachal Pradesh 68, Orissa 65 and Goa 18.



The Times Of India dated 25th October 2010 reports the following..

LONDON: In a shocking revelation, more than 50% children interviewed for a survey in India to determine the extent of violence against them said they had faced sexual abuse. In total, 12,500 school kids in 13 states between five and 18, as well as otherwise, took part in the research.

The report by Plan International, a children's organization here, said India is dubiously ranked third among 13 countries in terms of estimated economic cost of corporal punishment. Plan calculated that anything between $1.4 billion and $7.4 billion was lost every year in India by way of social benefits because of physical ill-treatment in schools. This is premised on how the larger economy is affected by the impact of such punishment, causing poor pupils' attendance and academic performance.

Only the US and Brazil suffered greater economic damage in the same sphere. Plan also studied Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Bolivia, Jordan and Egypt.

According to Plan's findings, corporal punishment is widespread in Indian schools, despite being illegal. More than 65% children, its report claimed, said they were beaten. A majority of such victims are in state schools.

The study also discovered that caste and gender discrimination was the major cause of violence against children. It said many students abandoned their studies because of such humiliation, which included hitting with hands or sticks, making them stand in various positions for long periods and tying them to chairs. More boys (54%) than girls (45%) were subjected to corporal punishment.

Plan blamed "societal acceptance of violence as a form of discipline" for it and pointed to a lack of awareness about children's rights in India. In the schools surveyed, there were at least five beatings of students a day.

Interestingly, many among the students interviewed believed corporal punishment was sometimes necessary. Students in Assam, Mizoram and UP reported highest rates of corporal punishment, while Rajasthan and Goa the lowest. Plan's conclusions are based on Overseas Development Institute, a UK thinktank, research. The institute's sources included government of India data on child abuse in the country.
