00:10Children are the future of the country.

00:13Many campaigns are being run to ensure that no child is left out of education,

00:18so that they can realize their dreams.

00:21Meanwhile, in Tej Tarrar Adhikari,

00:23Shumar Dehradun, District Adhikari Saveen Bansal has started an initiative called Shiksha.

00:30Through this initiative, poor children are being taught how to beg on the streets

00:35and how to sell garbage.

00:39The recovery aspect of our front end,

00:42in which our patrolling vehicles had to be detected and recovered in a committed way,

00:48is working at its own pace.

00:53And the squads that were constituted,

00:56are also doing their part in our DPO Women's Welfare Centre.

01:05The back end of this is that they have to be taken to our intensive shelter unit

01:10and through activity-based learning, recreation and sports,

01:14they have to transform their behavioural changes and mind.

01:18Until our centre is in its intended form,

01:25because that is under construction.

01:29Meanwhile, some rooms have been prepared.

01:33The teachers and resource persons are already available there.

01:37Children are also being given food.

01:39Their interest in sports and learning is being developed.

01:47It is expected that the children will be retained there.

01:51When they feel that their place is in the school,

02:00and that they have to exercise their educational rights,

02:08then we will link them with formal education.

02:13They will be admitted to the schools.

02:16And whatever the cost of their rehabilitation will be,

02:21that will be managed by the administration.

02:23More than 20 children have been rescued so far.

02:27These children are being sent to Dehradun's Sadhuram Inter College,

02:30which is a modern university care centre.

02:34Those children who used to beg on the streets due to poverty,

02:38are now on their way to fulfil their dreams through books and pencils.

02:45Earlier, I used to study.

02:47One day, I had a holiday.

02:49So, I went to collect garbage.

02:52When I found garbage, I started collecting it.

02:55My uncle asked me, where is the way to go.

02:58I told him.

03:00And my brother came.

03:03And he asked me, where is the way to go.

03:06And a sister came.

03:08She was a police officer.

03:10She held my hand and took me away.

03:12I didn't go to school. I used to collect garbage.

03:14What did you collect?

03:15Garbage.

03:16You used to collect garbage.

03:17Who all are there in your family?

03:19My mother and father.

03:20Didn't they stop you from collecting garbage?

03:23No.

03:24Why?

03:25They didn't pay me.

03:28How did you come here?

03:32Who brought you here?

03:35My brother.

03:37How long have you been here?

03:408 days.

03:42How do you feel being here?

03:44I feel good.

03:46What do you study here?

03:48A, B, C, D. Everything.

03:50Mathematics.

03:52Hindi.

03:53I used to look for Ganges in Rishikesh.

03:56What did you look for?

03:57I used to look for coins.

03:59What was the reason for looking for coins?

04:04I used to get money.

04:06In your family?

04:07In my family, my mother and father.

04:09My father is disabled.

04:12Who brought you here?

04:15They rescued me.

04:18How do you feel now that you are studying here?

04:22I feel good.

04:25Will you continue your studies?

04:28Yes.

04:29The kids are seeing positive changes in their lives.

04:36Nonihal is also fulfilling her dreams.

04:40There are a lot of changes.

04:43In the beginning, the kids feel like they are in jail.

04:48But we make them feel comfortable.

04:51We build a relationship with them.

04:54Then we come to our education.

04:56There are a lot of changes.

04:58Gradually, nothing will happen.

05:00Gradually, there are changes.

05:02They are interested in studying.

05:05In the beginning, they didn't believe it.

05:07But now they are interested.

05:09They seem to be a little disciplined.

05:13Even now, we have to face some difficulties every day.

05:18Because working with them is a challenge.

05:22We have to understand their language.

05:24We have to trust them.

05:27We have to trust them.

05:29New kids are coming every day.

05:31We face challenges every day.

05:33But now we are starting to understand.

05:36Because we have experience of working with children.

05:40So now we understand how to talk to them.

05:44What are the ways we should adopt.

05:47Every time we come here, we look for opportunities.

05:53We talk about literacy.

05:56We do activities.

05:58They even want to shout.

06:00When a person comes from outside,

06:03he will feel that we are shouting.

06:05What are they studying?

06:06In short, the hands in which the poor had kept bowls to live,

06:11now they are using pens and books to manage their future.

06:15This is also making the poor kids eligible for education.
