Abstract

When it comes to accomplishing personal and social goals, education is an essential tool. The quality of life is improved, equality is promoted, and various chances for social participation are enhanced via education. Since gaining its independence, India has remained steadfast in its commitment to the democratic ideals of brotherhood, equality, and justice. Providing widespread access to high-quality primary education is central to its mission to achieve educational objectives. This study investigates the status of the social, cultural, and economic wellbeing of educationally deprived children in Lucknow. In this research, we looked at how children dealing with problems like poverty and lack of school resources are doing. Essential elements in developing a feeling of belonging and identity include cultural customs and a stable and loving familial environment. However, financial constraints and a lack of formal education were significant obstacles. Despite everything, the study highlighted the children’s natural qualities, such as their inquisitiveness, generosity, and ingenuity. According to the results, programs that assist families, respect cultural identity, reduce educational inequalities, and build on children's abilities should be prioritised.
