Today, in various states of India, people from marginalized castes and communities are found who are still not fully integrated into the mainstream of society. As a result, they have to face challenges related to education, employment, housing, language, clothing, and economic inequality, and from a social perspective, they continue to experience discrimination, injustice, and exploitation.
SC/ST children often face poverty, social discrimination, and exclusion in daily life. Many struggle to attend school regularly or receive quality education. Poor health, malnutrition, and limited access to resources make their growth difficult. These challenges reduce their opportunities and affect their future prospects.
