<strong>Abstract</strong> <em>Slums are a universal phenomenon and exist in almost all cities across the world. The</em><em> under privileged children residing in the slums are deprived of various basic amenities that the non-slum children in general do enjoy so they need special attention. As per 2011 Census report in India roughly 1.37 crore households or 17.4% of urban households lived in slums. Education plays a pivotal role in laying a proper foundation for the over-all socio-economic development of any region. Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 provides children

Abstract:

Education is one of the most crucial instruments for the development of a fair, just and egalitarian society. Education enhances the individual’s personal growth, economic development and social effectiveness, which is indispensible in the information driven age. In modern democratic societies, education is the most potent tool that can transcend the barriers of social prejudices and exclusion. Access to quality education by socio-economically weaker and vulnerable sections of the society needs to be examined thoroughly to identify the areas of concern.

Background: Women employment enhances household income and translates into better standard of living especially for children. That means maternal employment may benefit children’s health by increasing parent’s ability to buy high-quality food, good housing, and appropriate medical care. But, time spent at work may also decrease mother’s ability to care for and supervise children, leading perhaps to less healthy activities, such as eating poorly, unhygienically or engaging in too many unhealthy activities.

Abstract:

Infectious diseases are major causes of morbidity and mortality among children. One of the most cost-effective interventions for improved child survival is immunization, which has significant urban-rural divides. Slum dwellers constitute about one-third of Indian population, and most children still remain incompletely immunized. The main purpose of this study was to understand the factors behind partial or non-immunization of children aged 12-23 months in slum areas of Cuttack district, India.

Background: Middle-ear diseases in children pose a significant burden to the healthcare system. Recurrent upper respiratory tract infections, cold, and cough often initiate middle ear disease. It results in mild to moderate hearing impairment that can be detrimental to the child's linguistic development. It can further lead to behavioural and cognitive problems. The study was designed to establish a relationship between common middle pathologies like CSOM and OME with hearing loss in children. Objective: To determine the prevalence of middle ear pathology and its association with hearing
