Detailed Description

Every person in this world aspires to live a better life than he/she is current state. It had been a human tendency to look around for a better opportunity for their living and strive for it. Industrialization has opened the doors for people who lived at villages and can get a chance to move to urban settings. Industrialization had brought urbanization, as a number of people traveled from a different place and they needed a place to stay. Urban places got the chance to develop and various facilities like school, healthcare, administration, transportation were more accessible. Education (school education) as a tool helped many of the people to meet their dreams. They had been migrating since ages and everyone has evolved through it. On one side, there were people from privileged society who had financial support to back them up, while on the other side there were people from underprivileged society. Talking of the privileged people, are the people those who get secondary level education or graduate level education which helps them to work in urban areas as Engineers, Doctors,Lawyers, Banks, Corporates, whereas there are people who don’t get proper education and forced to work as taxi-driver, domestic help, housekeeping, construction workers etc. Civil societies have tried to help the second type of migrants in several ways. Providing education to the children of these people, so that they can get better opportunity to find a job and living This project is an attempt to understand how this civil society had tried to help the children of these migrants. Were these efforts helpful to, if yes then how and if not how it could be made better?Aman Day Care Centre was one of such opportunity to understand this scenario, and how it is different from the other institution for children of the people who didn’t migrate to the urban settings.
