The pleasure of learning and education in this country is influenced by social gradients, which in turn determines access and opportunity. While education and health are the oft- quoted twin pillars of human development, pressing circumstances deny these to a large segment of our children, born and living in the margins of Indian society. Although welfare programs of the government targets these social fringe sitters – it seems more needs to be done to be impacting here, if the term called equity have any meaning, whatsoever, in the country. Non government endeavors, individual and organizational, can create or strengthen social initiatives in this area so that the pleasure of education and improved quality of life is shared by more people in our society than what it is now.
