Children in Uttar Pradesh

Life can be uncertain and, in many cases, cut short for children in UP. Each year, about 380,000 of the State’s children die before the age of five years, falling victim to malnutrition, diarrhoea etc.

Children from the Meena Manch arrive with placards for a play prior to the arrival of Norwegian Prime Minister Ms Erna Solberg in a Government Primary and Middle School at Nithora, Uttar Pradesh.
