Education has led laid a hallmark of its importance to live a sustainable life in this century and should be given utmost priority as well. However, amidst all this advancement it is still a bitter news that education hasn‟t made a mark to some of the utter underprivileged zones in certain countries; here the social evils which prevails made lives so helpless that survival is their only motive with no scope for imagining beyond that. Children with same or more capabilities in life than the elite section land up only in detention camps or villages with less or no resource for a healthy life. Certainly education will not be a priority for this section and therefore organizations around the world are working at the best of their abilities to ensure accessibility in this areas.
