Despite the government running several programmes like the Mid Day Meal Scheme and Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, around 40 million children in India have still not been to schools. According to the Census 2011, there are over 37 million children in the age group of 15-18. To add to the irony, primary schooling facilities in India are not up to the mark, and only 15% schools offer secondary education.

Of every 100 children who are enrolled in schools, only 72 are able to complete class VIII. There is more reason to worry, as just 48 of these children complete class X and barely 33 finish class XII at the right age. India is currently witnessing 78.5% gross enrolment ratio and only 48% net enrolment ratio in secondary schooling. It means that out of every 100 children, only 48 (age appropriately) get enrolled in secondary education,

India urgently needs to address the issue of school dropouts, as the country is going to be the youngest nation by 2020, and by 2025 a majority of the young population will enter the workforce. Thus, India needs skilled workforce, and the more the number of dropouts, the less will be the number of skilled workers.
