Q. 2. Read the passage given below:
A research conducted by SATHI says that it is a misconception that children living on platforms
are abandoned or are wrecked from homes. In reality, most of the children are those that flee
from their homes without a thought and cannot retract their actions, either because they have no
money or are too frightened to go back. "We rescue 50 children daily from the platforms across
the country. Some of these children get lost even as their parents search for them desperately,"
said Anjali, project officer, SATHI. Life on the platform is not easy. The longera child lives on
the platform, the more he falls prey to addictions, abuse, petty thefts and odd jobs for survival.
There is no place like home for a child, therefore, in extreme cases of abuse and poverty the
organisation's first course of action is 'home placement. As SATHT's secretary Pramod Kulkarni
says, 'A child on the platform never grows up, he just ages. Early intervention not only saves the
child from the dangers of platform life but, also makes repatriation easier as the child is more
willing to go back home'. But, it is not an easy task. The organisation's staff search the platforms
across the country from morning till night. Children are rescued from the platforms and are
placed within the safe limits of the SATHI shelters. They are counselled and those who are
willing to go back home are taken to their families as soon as possible. Others who are reluctant
to go back home are enrolled in "home orientation camps". Love, guidance and care provided, it
paves the way for effective development of problem-solving and social skills needed to build
self-esteem and renew family ties. Children addicted to substance abuse are sent to de-addiction
camps.
