Abstract

India is striving towards achieving universal elementary education. Sarva Siksha Abhiyan and National Council of Educational Research and Training have started many initiatives. These initiatives have yielded positive results. But, in heavily populated urban areas there arise many problems since the number of migratory students is very high. Children of unemployed migratory people are frequently relocated and dwell on pavements. Where hunger and housing are major concerns, education takes a backseat and the school becomes a place for sustenance. Language also becomes a barrier. Migratory children have to learn the local language and also the language of the school in a very short span of time. This paper highlights these problems and recommends solutions.
