Sugarcane Worker कुटुंबातील मुलं School का सोडतात?
अनेक वेळा आपल्याला असे वाटते की मोठे यश किंवा क्षमता फक्त शहरांमध्येच तयार होते. पण प्रत्यक्षात ग्रामीण भागातील आणि शेतकरी कुटुंबातील मुलांमध्ये प्रचंड क्षमता अ...
Avinash Chate - Best Motivational Speaker in India addressing corporate audience Why Children from Sugarcane Worker Families Leave School—and What We Must Change As Avinash Chate, I have spent years interacting with students, parents, teachers, business leaders, and communities across India. One truth has become very clear to me: talent is not urban, and potential is not reserved for privilege. Some of the most determined, intelligent, and resilient children I have seen come from farming and labour-intensive families. Yet many of them leave school far too early. The real problem is not capability. The real problem is interrupted opportunity. When I reflect on children from sugarcane worker families, I do not see a lack of ambition. I see unstable routines, migration, financial pressure, weak educational continuity, and very limited exposure. These children are not dropping out because they do not matter. They are dropping out because the system around them is not designed to hold them consistently. Watch on YouTube → In this conversation, the deeper issue is not just schooling. It is about dignity, aspiration, access, and the environment that shapes a child’s belief about what is possible. If you have read my article Is Your Environment Quietly Destroying Your Future? , you already know how strongly I believe environment influences destiny. The dropout problem starts long before the child leaves school Many people think a child drops out because of one sudden event. In reality, dropping out is usually the final stage of a long process. It begins with irregular attendance. Then comes learning loss. Then emotional disconnect. Then a feeling of inferiority. Finally, the child or family starts believing that school is no longer practical. For sugarcane worker families, migration plays a major role. When parents move seasonally for work, children often move with them. This breaks the rhythm of education. A child who was learning in one classroom suddenly finds himself in a completely different environment, or no learning environment at all. Months of school are lost. Once the gap widens, returning becomes harder. There is also the burden of responsibility. Older children may be expected to support the family, care for younger siblings, or contribute indirectly to survival. Education then begins to look like a luxury instead of a necessity. As Avinash Chate, I often say that children do not only need schools. They need continuity, emotional safety, and someone who keeps reminding them that their future is bigger than their current circumstances. Rural children have ability, but exposure changes confidence One of the biggest differences between many rural students and urban students is not intelligence. It is exposure. Exposure changes vocabulary, confidence, imagination, and decision-making. A child can only dream with the raw material he has seen, heard, and experienced. When a student grows up seeing professionals, entrepreneurs, authors, trainers, e…
