description: ‘Children are vulnerable at all stages of their lives and sometimes even after they become an adult’ (SOS Children’s Villages International, 2015), this is true for not only the vulnerable sections of the society but also the ones that are deemed not. If we take into consideration a non-disaster situation such as children working in a factory environment, they have no option but to leave their education and work to sustain and support their families. Most of them are married off at a very young age and are pushed into labour where they are exploited by the contractor and the production managers. They cannot pursue their education or dreams even if they wish to. ‘Almost all vulnerable children are suffering’ (UNICEF India, 2003), which is somewhat of a commonplace statement but why is this so? and how can this be tackled? is something that needs to be focused upon. The obvious thing is the fact that neither the child nor their parents/guardians know about the existing Child Rights especially Rights of the Girl Child. They are also tightly gripped by social evils of illiteracy, malnutrition and abuse. Awareness through ‘Safe’ Education is therefore the key to tackling these hurdles. The government run schools cater to the poor, unprivileged, and mostly Below Poverty Line population which accounts for almost 21.9% of India’s population which wouldn’t seem like much until you see that this percentage translates to almost 267 Million people. Looking at it from a micro lens, and as much as 9.91% of the capital city of Delhi’s population lives below the poverty line which amounts to 1.6 Million people (The World Bank, 2015). India also has the largest child population of any country. As per the Census of India, for age group 0-6 years it has a child population of 160 Million and for age group of 0-14 of 370 Million children. It means a third of India’s population are children who are the future of the country and they have to be provided their basic Right to ‘Safe’ Education.
