Most of these children are malnutritioned and need support. In rural India, girl child is not allowed go to school as she has to look her younger siblings when parents go out for work.

Poverty is a major problem facing India with over 350 million peasants living below poverty line earning only U.S. $ 1 a day. This represents 36% of the worlds poor population. Child Labour According to UN Study about 150 million children of age group 4-14 are working in various industries in India. They are paid a pittance as low as Rs.20 per day and many children are used for begging. Child Mortality The prevalance of child under nutrition and micro nutrients deficiency in India is among the worlds heighest. Low birth and under nutrition are two major causes of death. Infact mortality rate during 2007 is estimated at 34.61 death/1000 live birth. Conclusion & Solution In developing countries Central government has to take responsibilities for guaranteeing equal opportunities to all class of citizens through Social Action and Social Development and cannot isolate itself from social responsibilities to upgrade life of poor and neglected citizens and withdraw from social service welfare plans. India is emerging as an economical stable Nation, increasing living standards of India population providing more health care programmes, Industrial development policies, providing employment for all and emerging as a big market for consumer product and service industry. The world is no longer a place divided into Developed and Developing countries, East and West, Rich and Poor, Men and Women. 2
