UNICEF - INDIA (Roll Call)
Despite a major improvement in literacy rates during the 1990s, the number of children who are not in school remains high. Gender disparities in education persist: far more girls than boys fail to complete primary school.
The literacy rate jumped from 52 per cent in 1991 to 65 per cent in 2001. The absolute number of non-literates dropped for the first time and gross enrolment in Government-run primary schools increased from over 19 million in the 1950s to 114 million by 2001.
I was one of these little souls few years back, now atleast someone having a potential to serve our country. Let us help children, whom ever we know, whom ever we do not know who lack the privilege to go to school and study to find themselves self-sufficient and skilled asset of our country.
