    A study conducted by Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) found that 130 crore tons of food items lay wasted in the last 5 years-the exact food quantity that the African continent requires for its survival. Today one of seven in the world goes to bed, hungry. Statistics reveal that every year 20,000 children below the age of 5 die of starvation and poverty.

    Children constitute over a third of India’s population of a 1.21 billion and yet they are only perceived as the ‘future generation’ of economically contributing adults and not as citizens of today.

    CRY in Action 2013 - 2014
    (2014) Child Rights & You, CRY
    Before every election, politicians debate key issues that the country is concerned about inflation, corruption, and many more. One significant issue that both citizens and politicians should take seriously but often don't, is the issue of child rights. Every day, millions of Indian children are denied their fundamental rights to education, healthcare and safety. And although the country’s youth is critical to our present and future, not enough action is taken to improve this situation.
