Upliftment of slum children Education is every child?s right. The UN and the Indian government agree. In fact, basic education is the right of every Indian child. On paper, at least! But what if you are elder sister to three other siblings and your mom and dad ask you to cook and care for them while they go off to dig roads or build skyscrapers brick by brick. What if you are barely in your teens but are already on a payroll bringing in the money to help a sick parent? That?s when education takes a backseat!
