The Edmund Rice's report provides supplementary information on the initial report of India on the implementation of the CRC for review in Oct 2013.

61 Indian children contributed to the writing of this submission, working with Edmund Rice International. Ten of them acted as investigative journalists who had a good command of English and Hindi as they attended private schools. Together they worked through a child friendly process to collect evidence based data and real life stories of the 51 children from the New Delhi slums who had gathered for a holiday workshop.  They played with, danced, talked and built rapport with the 51 children from New Delhi’s slums over 5 days, June 3 – 7, 2013.  The 10 young people, all under the age of 18 years live in New Delhi and are actively engaged in the NINEISMINE children’s campaign that is asking the Indian Government to keep its promise of allocating 6% of India’s GDP (public spending) for education and at least 3% for health.
