Why Millions Of Indian Kids Lack Basic Education & How You Can Help

The Reality We Often Overlook : India is home to more than 250 million school-going children, yet, millions are still denied even the most basic education. According to UNESCO, more than 35 million children in India remain out of school due to poverty, lack of access, and socio-economic barriers. These children aren’t just missing textbooks or classrooms, they’re missing the chance to dream, grow, and build a better future. Why Does This Gap Still Exist? Poverty and Daily Survival : For countless families, education takes a backseat to survival. When every day is about putting food on the table, school fees and books feel like luxuries. Lack of Infrastructure : In rural and underdeveloped areas, schools are often far away, understaffed, and lacking basic facilities like electricity, clean water, or proper classrooms.

The Reality We Often Overlook :

India is home to more than 250 million school-going children, yet, millions are still denied even the most basic education. According to UNESCO, more than 35 million children in India remain out of school due to poverty, lack of access, and socio-economic barriers. These children aren’t just missing textbooks or classrooms, they’re missing the chance to dream, grow, and build a better future.

Why Does This Gap Still Exist?

Poverty and Daily Survival :

For countless families, education takes a backseat to survival. When every day is about putting food on the table, school fees and books feel like luxuries.

Lack of Infrastructure :

In rural and underdeveloped areas, schools are often far away, understaffed, and lacking basic facilities like electricity, clean water, or proper classrooms.

Gender Inequality :

Girls are disproportionately affected, burdened with household chores, early marriages, and cultural norms that prioritize boys’ education over theirs.

Pandemic Setbacks :

COVID-19 forced millions of children out of school, and many haven’t returned. The digital divide hit underprivileged kids the hardest, no internet, no smartphones, no classes.

The Ripple Effect Of Missed Education :

When a child is denied education, it’s not just one life impacted, it’s an entire generation. Education breaks cycles of poverty, empowers communities, and opens doors to better opportunities. Without it, the cycle continues: no school → low-paying jobs → no way out.

How Boddhi Tree Foundation is Bridging the Gap :

Since 2018, Boddhi Tree Foundation has been providing free education to underprivileged children across 17 states of India. From online tuition during the pandemic to now preparing to return to offline classes, we’ve taught hundreds of children basic literacy, moral values, and life skills, while also prioritizing teacher training for sustainable impact. But the need is far greater.

We believe every child deserves more than survival : they deserve dreams and dignity.
