The Little Rann of Kutch is a salt marsh located in the northern region of Gujarat, close to the Great Rann of Kutch. It produces near 25% of India’s salt production and employs nearly 50,000 workers in the process. The saltpan workers working in the Little Rann of Kutch belong to the Agrariya community, are illiterate, and their professional skills are limited to salt making. It is the life of their children, however, which suffers the most. Due to being in the Rann for 8 months, they miss out on any formal education. While the young ones need care and hence, accompany their parents, some of the older children (14-16 years) aid their parents in salt making. Various NGOs have been working in and around Rann to resolve the plight of children and ensure their primary education. Education and awareness alone can facilitate their switching to some other occupation and hence the breaking of the vicious circle of illiteracy and poverty. One of the most prominent of these is Ganatar. Ganatar has come up with unique initiatives like schools in Rann, vocational training programme, bridge course to help students keep pace with mainstream education, with involvement of the community as its cornerstone principle. Inspite of such innovative solutions and impeccable spirit shown by the students who have continued in the education system after being impacted by Ganatar, the situation is still bleak. The change is coming but more vigorous efforts need to be made, both by the community and the government, to ensure that the right to education and hence, equal opportunity is made available to these children.]]>
