Abstract

Recent floods in Kashmir and very severe cyclonic stormwhich struck Andhra Pradesh have gone on to reinforce how schools and children get impacted. No structured database is available in India on number of schools and children studying in disaster prone areas. Not much statics is available on such disaster affected children who are vulnerable to drop out, forced to child labour and victims of child trafficking. This article talks of the concerns, impact on schools, initiatives by the government, gaps in plans and implementation and finally the way forward.
