The word ―Underprivileged‖ refers to a group of people deprived through social and economic condition of some of the fundamental rights of all members of a civilized society. Our society can see many people who are totally deprived of most their basic rights due to poverty. If we think of the underprivileged children, they drop off their school only to run their families, whereas the other children of the same society who are well off are blessed to continue their education. Those underprivileged children have no other choice than leaving the school and work for the family to earn some money. Most of them want to continue their education but are helpless. Being children of a society where others can get the light of education, they do not deserve to be deprived of this basic need.
My project ―Shayambhar‖ intends to give these underprivileged children the platform where they can receive education and at the same time help their families by doing some productive works. It is hoped that in future the children will be educated and at the same time they will become self-dependent. I believe that there will be a time when these children will be referred as an asset for the nation rather than a burden of society if they are given proper opportunities.
