Payuna
a film dedicated to all the girl child who are deprived from education and
basic necessities. This is the story of
Payuna, a balloon selling girl in the streets and park of Delhi.
Payuna’s story is the story of many such girls of this country. This really pity that after 72 years of independence, children specially girls are forced to work for their family’s bread and butter. Everyone from education system to government level are responsible for this condition. This film will show the truth after all these years after independence where we stand. At least 35 million children aged 6 – 14 years do not attend school. 53% of girls in the age group of 5 to 9 years are illiterate. This is the harsh reality of our country.
There are some other facts:-
In India, only 53% of habitation has a primary school.
In India, only 20% of habitation has a secondary school.
On an average an upper primary school is 3 km away in 22% of areas under habitations.
In nearly 60% of schools, there are less than two teachers to teach Classes I to V.
On an average, there are less than three teachers per primary school. They have to manage classes from I to V every day.
High cost of private education and need to work to support their families and little interest in studies are the reasons given by 3 in every four drop-outs as the reason they leave.
Dropout rates increase alarmingly in class III to V, its 50% for boys, 58% for girls.
1 in 40, primary school in India is conducted in open spaces or tents.
