Question

Read the following passage carefully :
A research conducted by SATHI says that it is a misconception that children living on platforms are abandoned or are from wrecked homes. In reality, most of the children flee 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 longer a 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 except for extreme cases of abuse and poverty and the organization's first course of action is 'home placement.' As SATHI'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 organization's staff scour the platforms across the country from morning till night.
Children are rescued from the platforms and are placed within the safe confines 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-addictiction camps.
