Image
Introduction In the wise words of Jawaharlal Nehru, "The children of today will make the India of tomorrow." As we celebrate Children's Day, it is essential to reflect on its true essence – an opportunity to raise awareness about the rights, needs, and welfare of our young ones. While this day has traditionally been a time to spotlight the areas where children lack, such as healthcare and education, it has also become crucial to address the challenges our children face in the modern, competitive world. Challenges and Solutions In the midst of a highly competitive environment, children are inadvertently losing their childhood. The familiar sights of children playing carefree in playgrounds have become a rarity, overshadowed by the looming pressure of academic responsibilities.

The first comprehensive census, which has been conducted every ten years since 1872 under British Viceroy Lord Mayo, took place in the year 1881. Since 1949, it has been carried out by the Ministry of Home Affairs Registrar General and Census Commissioner of India. The most recent census was conducted in 2011, and the following one was scheduled for 2021, but it has been delayed due to the pandemic.
