Helping The Drug Abused Children in Rehabilitant
| Majority of street children in metro cities either run away from homes in distress, are orphans or have been abandoned.
The nature of continuous exposure to the street and its associated life-styles make street children vulnerable to the use of Drugs & other psychoactive substances. Barring a miniscule six percent who are skilled laborers, rest of the street kids surveyed are non- skilled workers contributing to the work force in unorganized sector. More than 40 percent do odd jobs as coolies, construction workers and laborers. Nineteen percent of respondents said they earn a living by working as rag- pickers. As per literacy, 48 per cent of street kids were found illiterate & Only five per cent are literates above primary level.
