NGOs to identify school dropouts in Bengaluru slums for Covid-19 vaccination

Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has approached NGOs to help them find school dropouts in the city slums for Covid-19 vaccination.

Sujith, a 17-year-old boy, had to drop out of Class 10 due to the worsening financial condition of his family following the pandemic. They couldn't manage to pay his school fees. Today, he works as a daily wage labourer along with his father.

A resident of Ambedkar Nagar slum near Koramangala, Sujith is one amongst thousands of school dropouts in the city.
