INDIAN STREET CHILDREN

Author : Dr. Kodur Venkatesh
Pages : X+54=64

I always have a sincere and special concern for children and feel quite sorry at the sad state of affairs.
​
The true health of the Nation depends on the physical and mental health of its own children and the care and concern it has towards its children.  Young Children are misused as child labour at a tender age denying them the basic right of education thereby adversely affecting their lives.

It should be the endeavor of all right thinking citizens to sympathetically look at rights of children and support their causes in whatever way possible.  If we can provide every child with higher education and the required technical skills, I have no doubt we can be the global power in providing skilled workers.

 This is a humble attempt to bring out certain facts on the subject and try to reach the same to as many people as possible.  Despite the widespread use of Internet all over the world, Books I fee are the best and easy source of knowledge for people of all age groups.

I hope everyone would like reading this book and take a step forward to help children.
