Besides, there are number of children in India, who are either orphans or destitute. They not only have roof over their head and go to bed with hungry stomach but they are deprived of love, care which they need so much in their formative life. Especially destitute girl's position is worse than boys. Unlike a son's birth, a girl child's birth does not evoke feeling of happiness and amusement. She is always considered as a liability, a burden and not a support. Even the girls feel an inferiority complex since she is considered no answer to her parent's aspiration. When either of parents dies, such girls lead a miserable life. Not to say of their education, sometimes these girls are pushed into every possible earning activity. These girls require integration into society. They should get the basic rights to have food, shelter health education and safe future. |
