Education is important for everyone in the world. It makes one able to understand what is happening around us logically and clearly. An educated person has the ability to take viable decisions and make right moves at the right time. Education provides the ladder for achieving success in life and enables us to utilize skills and caliber in a constructive way. However, government and civil societies have made the process of education simple by providing basic facilities and making going to the school necessary for everyone up to 10th class.
Absolute poverty or destitution is inability to afford basic human needs, which commonly includes clean and fresh water, nutrition, health care, education, clothing and shelter. About 1.7 billion people are estimated to live in absolute poverty today.
Children are the future of a nation. For an emerging and developing country like India, development of underprivileged children holds the key to the progress of the nation itself. Education for underprivileged Children is the key whether we are addressing healthcare, poverty, population control, unemployment or human rights issues. Even though India’s children account for more than one-third of its population, their interests have never been given priority.
The situation of underprivileged children in India
40% of India’s population is below the age of 18 years which at 400 million is the world’s largest child population.
Less than half of India’s children between the age 6 and 14 go to school.
A little over one-third of all children who enroll in grade one reach grade eight.

After independence, education became the responsibility of the states. The Indian education system is generally based on marks. There are broadly four stages of school education in India, namely primary, upper primary, secondary and higher secondary (or high schools). The primary or the elementary education is the foundation of the education system in India, as the children are given eight years of schooling during this period. After completing the elementary education, the students get into the secondary level.
The government has taken up the responsibility for ensuring universal elementary education (primary and upper primary) for all children between the age group of six to fourteen. From class one to five is the primary school from the age group of six to eleven. Upper Primary and Secondary school pupils are aged between eleven to fifteen years organized into class”s six to ten. The higher secondary school student ages sixteen to seventeen enrolled in classes eleven and twelve.
The state government provides many opportunities to improve education in India. In the world level, India literacy rate in the Year 2001 census was 64.83, which improved to 74.04 in 2011. The Tamil Nadu is the one of the most literate states in India. Tamil Nadu has performed reasonably well in terms of literacy growth during the decade 2001 to 2011. The state’s literacy rate increased from 73.47% in 2001 to 80.3% in 2011 which is above the national average. This is good improvement in literacy rate.
In Tamil Nadu education system, generally based on Marks. There are broadly four stages of school education namely primary, upper primary, secondary and higher secondary (or high schools).The state government taking more steps to develop our education.
The state Government has been implemented the Common School System is called “Samacheer Kalvi” or Tamil Nadu Uniform System of School Education or Equitable education system.
Advantage of Samacheer Kalvi:
“It”s very simple, useful to the students and parents.
” Samacheer Kalvi maintain common books and syllabus for both Tamil and English medium, because all the students are studying in the uniform way.
“This scheme purpose is to make same quality syllabus which can stop discrimination based on economy, caste, religion and background for all school boards in Tamilnadu.
“Uniform education system will help the children”s of government official, who transferred from one school to another.
“If we will have uniform education system in the state poor children can get better education along with the other states and can learn better things.
Samacheer Kalvi is one of the best in Indian education. “Education is not something which the teacher does … it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being”

Today, studying abroad for various study program have become a trend among Indian students and. every year thousands of Indian students apply in various Universities abroad. Universities in US and UK receive high numbers of Indian applicants for their various regular and vocational courses. Overseas education is indeed a big breakthrough in someones career and promises him/her many wonderful career opportunities ahead. Today, overseas education is not limited among the people of higher status and elite class but many middle class families across India and other countries of the world are also sending their children for overseas education for a bright future and well paid job.

There are various advantages of studying abroad; the first one is concerned with academics. You would find wide spectrum of courses in a foreign university with excellent education system and infrastructure. They use modern technique of teaching applications with highly qualified and proficient faculty.

The safe and sound environment of the university makes you very feel comfortable to get adjusted in a foreign land. You also get incredible chance to meet students of different nationalities and religions. It gives you plenty of exposure and knowledge about various cultures and creed. The exposure you receive from studying abroad would be very helpful in your career building and life. Pursuing education from a prestigious foreign university opens the doors of countless job opportunities for you. You are being offered a high paid job, respectable position and many other perks

Studying in foreign land also makes you proficient in the language of the country. For instance, if you are seeking overseas education from UK, US or New-Zealand where official language is English, you would be able to learn the language and gradually become a Master in English. Studying abroad also gives you wonderful opportunities to travel to other neighboring countries which would give you plenty of exposure and knowledge. You have a global network of social contacts by studying abroad.

Overseas education also gives you opportunity to work at your spare time thus, you get work experience as well and for some companies work experience is also an important requirement before recruiting the candidate. Studying abroad helps students to become more mature, confident and resilient and all such qualities are counted at their workplace.

However, everything has a flipside as well and overseas education also comes with certain demerits. Though overseas education promises you great future and rewarding jobs but it is very expensive for a middle class family to send their children for a higher education in US, UK etc. Most of these families take loans or other financial aids to sponsor the education.

India is a developing country. The main factor that has made India a developing country is its poor educational field leading to illiteracy and subsequently poverty. These are the two main problems India is facing at the moment. More than 80% of the population in India depends on agriculture and out of this number; about 60% of the population is illiterate. Thus, the basis of all major problems is illiteracy.

It is extremely important that females be educated so that they can play a pivotal role in the development of their childrens characters When a female is educated she attains knowledge, gains power that helps in herself development .When she has a family it influences her family life in various ways. This helps the society to improve and develop in all aspects .This gradually leads the country to progress and achieve its goals. When a female is educated she helps educate many generations through her own knowledge and talents. Therefore, literacy and good education can solve many of the problems of developing countries .In all aspects education is an essential factor that helps in bringing about various changes to ourselves as human beings and also to the society. Through education, we can achieve all that we want and can work on saving our precious resources to meet growing demands of the population.

As mentioned earlier, poverty is one of the major problems that India faces. When speaking about population the first thing that comes to our minds is the slums in India. Today slum dwellers make up for about 60% of Mumbai’s population that is about 7 million people. These slums mainly spread into the areas neighboring Byculla, such as: Parel, Mahim Creek, Dadar and Matunga and wherever else they can find space, even on roads. The conditions in the slums are dreadful. Slum inhabitants constantly have to deal with issues such as, lack of water, no sewage or solid waste facilities, constant migration, lack of public transit, poor education, pollution and housing shortages. Infant mortality is very high in rural areas of India where there are no amenities.

In order to deal with the menace of poverty and illiteracy, many NGOs in India have come up with programs whereby imparting education for slum children.

These NGOs provide all the students with free education including free study material, free uniform and free occasional medical checkups. Some NGOs are running schools in various city slums with foreign assistance. They are playing a key role in imparting education for slum children but there is always a question about the standard of education in those schools as there is a lack of regular monitoring, education materials and skilled manpower. The Central Government of India is also playing a crucial role in providing education for slum children. It has also announced that a new welfare scheme has been created , which will with immediate effect eliminate and eradicate, all problems of slum children, including poverty, lack of education and health facilities, child labor and abuse. This program is also concentrating on providing education for the slum children, who could make a decent life for themselves in the future.
