Durga Pujo is a time of joy, strength, and new beginnings.
As we celebrate togetherness and hope, let’s also nurture the shakti within every child — the power to learn, to grow, and to build a better tomorrow.
The Need
In India, approximately 47.44 million children aged 6–17 are out of school. (Source: UDISEPlus 2023–24)
Many are forced to drop out, pushed into child labour, and denied the simple right to dream.
This festive season, you can help change that.
Join CRY – Child Rights and You – in the Poori Padhai, Desh Ki Bhalai movement.
Your support can ensure children not only go to school, but stay there and complete their education.
Why It Matters
When a child completes their education:
Because every educated child is a step towards a stronger future.
