A UNICEF study reveals in 2006 there were more than 11,000,000 railway children are there in Indian railway platform. Every year 120,000 children arrive at railway stations in India which turns into only available option for shelter and earning money to afford two square meals. Every year 29% children drop out from schools before completing 5 years of primary education. Every 2nd girl out of 5 is married before becoming 18 years of age in India.
