Children are the future. Nurture and guide them rightly, so that they grow up to be able leaders and lead the world towards light.
Children’s day in India is observed every year on 14th November with full enthusiasm. Children’s day is celebrated with great zeal and zest on the birthday of Pandith Jawhar Lal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India. Jawhar Lal Nehru was affectionately addressed by all the children by the name of Chacha Nehru. Chacha Nehru, despite being a big man and leader, used to meet and talk to the childrens. Children’s day is the national festival of India dedicated to children. Children’s day is a Prime day for children. On this day all the children look very jolly and Jovial. All schools and colleges remain functional on this day. Children’s day is celebrated with Pomp in all schools and colleges. On this day special programs are also organized for the children in the schools. On this day, students play a part in school programs and exhibit their art. On this day, all the schools and colleges are decorated beautifully. On this day children also go to school dressed up. On this day, children are given new clothes, good food and books. Along with this, children are also made aware about their rights. Children are the future of every country. So it is necessary to play a silver role in-order to decorate the future of any nation. Children’s are the future builders of any nation. For this they need proper guidance and assistance. From the last couple of multiple decades and years children’s faces a lot of problems in the territory through physically, spiritually, morally, intellectually, mentally, socially, politically, economically etc. The public organization should need to address these initiative and to lay hold of some convenient steps for the well-being of children’s in the state, so as to overcome from this drastic phase and to salvage the future of nation, otherwise a harsh consequences might crop-up in the future time, if the nation will not overcome from these problems on time. I don’t think it comes as a bombshell to anybody that most of the children’s don’t live nicely, happy or comfortable lives and it is a fact that always seem to tug at the heartstrings more than when we hear tales of adult suffering. In India Children’s face some of the hardest conditions anywhere in the world. They suffer from the mistakes of their parents, the ignorance of an apathetic system, and the lack of a pro-active support system. These circumstances, combined with existing social problems, rob children of the opportunities; they deserve to climb out of their lives of misery. These problems must be examined openly, so that all stakeholders are who support an NGO or charity can provide unique perspective to tackle them. Some important thicker and thinker obstacles faced by the future stars of the state are:- Like Children living in conflict zones.
Nearly 15% to 20% of children are living in the nation’s most lethal topographic zones, from where it is very difficult for them to gain proper guidance and education from these remote areas. Where single lane or double lane roads or even the foot path is not properly constructed or macadamized. From these off-color areas, it is difficult for the children’s to gain proper education during the on-peak time. The second biggest and the foremost challenge is the unprecedented Global Hunger. Form the last five decades along with the perfect storm of COVID-19, conflict and climate changes pushed millions of spring buds into starvation or into malnutrition. As India is a vegetarian country and constitutes poor nutritious diet, so does affects the children’s life very fiercely and is faced conjunct type of untreatable diseases in the form of polio, obese, being pale or lethargic, poor physical growth etc. According to the report 34.7% of the children aged under five in India are stunted (too short for their age), while the alarming figure reveals that approximately 4500 children die every day in the country due to hunger and malnutrition, amounting to over three lakh deaths every year. There is no vaccine for hunger but here is a solution if we act now. Save the children is already working around the globe to support families with food, cash etc. So children’s don’t’ go hungry, now or in the future. Another important challenge faced by the scholars are the disruption of routinely education due to Covid-19. The unexpected and unmemorable arrival of covid-19 not only affects the silver lives of the silver people but also affects the educational institutions as well. According to Indian survey, it has been observed that most serve affected department was the educational department after the health department. It was affected worldwide where ever 117 million kids were affected due to that pandemic. The longer children are out of school, the less likely it is that they will re-enroll, with girls at particular risk of dropping out, often in-order to marry. Besides that, there are other dreadful and awful issues faced by the so-called future stars of the territory are child labor, street child, child abuse, basic hygiene, forced bagging, lack of access to education, Child prostitution, poverty, child marriage and other thicker and wider concerns that are faced by these young buds on diurnal basis. The government has to keep these controversies in the front-foot and to look after it by thicker eyes that are presently functioning on this blue-planet. The adolescent population is an important and pivotal population to any nation, who they have to run the nation in the future time. Keeping these things in mind the government will need to address these things and to take some primitive measures for the welfare of these spring buds and to make the nation, a healthy nation.
