Khushboo Jain vs. Ministry of Railways 44 Forward > 2 Lost Childhoods: A study on platform children and other children in distress Background India is home to over 400 million children under 18 years old. These children make up more than 55 per cent of the population. Based on state police records in 2005, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) stated that, on average, more than 44,000 children are reported missing in India each year. Around 11,000 of these children remain untraced.1 This number could actually be much higher, as many cases are never reported because the families of these children are from a marginalised background and do not have the ability to report the incident. It is estimated that there are 11 million street children living in India, most of whom live in and around railway stations. In Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata, approximately 100,000–125,000 street children figure in the lists of missing, runaway, abandoned or trafficked children.2 Without support, these children are at risk of various forms of abuse and a lack of rights that not only denies them a childhood, but also forces them to grow up fast. Approximately 70,000 children arrive on station platforms in India per year.

PREFACE CINI's pioneering activities in the treatment and prevention of child malnutrition over the past 3 decades is well known. The children's ward demarcated for severely malnourished cases in Behala Balananda Hospital and the follow up treatment at the Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) at the CINI main campus in Daulatpur started in 1974, still continues to serve the villages and slum areas. Over these years, though malnutrition continued to be a major issue, our own government's response has been to expand the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) programme activities under Women and Child Development Ministry, to each and every village and slum area of our country. Till recently there has been almost no action from the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (H & FW), to improve or allocate more resources at government health centres or hospitals, to reduce malnutrition and its effects. Under the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) of the Ministry of H & FW, in West Bengal, CINI has been requested to expand its model of NRC in four Block Primary Health centres and one Subdivision hospital of four districts. This has been a singular example of influencing government policy, as a result of our pioneering effort, helped by various donors in India and around the world since 1974.

Research publications reflect the views of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the staff, officers, or Board of Directors of the Public Policy Institute of California. Foreword In the 1940s, the author Carey McWilliams coined a phrase to characterize California’s penchant for innovation and experimentation. He called it “the edge of novelty” and remarked that “Californians have become so used to the idea of experimentation—they have had to experiment so often—that they are psychologically prepared to try anything.” Waves of migrants and immigrants over the past 150 years of California history have been attracted to our “edge of novelty,” and they have consistently found California a place that fosters creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit. In this report, AnnaLee Saxenian documents one of the latest, and most dramatic, examples of California as a location that attracts immigrant entrepreneurs.
