Children constitute principle assets of any country. Children’s Development
is as important as the development of material resources and the best
way to develop national human resources is to take care of children.
India
has the largest child population in the world. All out efforts are being made
by
India
for the development and welfare of children. Significant progress has been
made in many fields in assuring children their basic rights. However, much
remains to be done. The country renews its commitment and determination to
give the highest priority to the basic needs and rights of all children. Children
are most vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. A lot more has to be done for
the health, nutrition and education of children. It is unfortunate that girls
in particular face debilitating discrimination at all stages. Therefore, specific
concentration is being given to the efforts to improve the life and opportunities
of the Girl Child.
Besides studies, children are also provided with vocational training that promises
to be a future source of earning for them. At the same time they contribute a small
means of earning for Tapahsthali.
These programs include:
Farming: Most of the children at Tapahsthali
hail from remote places, and
they are accustomed to farming. At
Tapahsthali,
they cultivate vegetables like brinjal,
tomato, beans etc.
Nursery: Children love to cultivate decorative plants like duranta, roses,
hibiscus etc. They also grow saplings of fruits like mangoes and papaya.
