Why Children?

Children are the building blocks of our nation’s future. Let’s invest in their potential today, so that they can become our scientists, politicians, sportspeople, journalists and teachers of tomorrow!

At 472 million, children account for 40% of India’s population

And yet, only 2.46% of the 2021-22 Union Budget was allocated to their development and welfare. In fact, the National Plan of Action for Children recommends that budgetary allocations for children should be 5% of the country’s GDP – ours has been stagnant at 0.43% of GDP for the last two years.

This problem before us is a mammoth one. But one that can be solved within our lifetimes.

All it needs is for each one of us to come together and do everything in our power to contribute to a sustainable solution.
