Abstract

The predicament of street children in the major urban pockets of the state of Odisha namely, Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Berhampur, Sambalpur, and Rourkela are taken in this study. Any boy or girl who has made the street to be their regular abode or source of support is considered to be a street child. The towns so selected for the study are rapidly expanding and they were chosen as representative of the whole state for gathering information about the socio-economic and living circumstances of street children. This study suggests that street children should receive thoughtful care, emotional support, and a nutritious diet so that they are not at risk for their health and work. To integrate street children into mainstream society, street education or alternative arrangements be made developed, and also vocational training arrangements be made for substantially aged children who will not be willing to join the school.
