	''Children of poor are unable to avail the education facility, or even if they attend classes, may not be able to concentrate on studies because of their economic and other problems. Their attention gets focused on problems at house and also have some impact of the behaviour of their parents. These can be the reasons for their poor performances. Added to these, the problems of fees,if any they may have to pay, cost of books and stationery which they can't bear, etc. Even though free education imparting system is there in many states, the additional costs of books and stationery can be unbearable for them. These things should also be provided free of cost to such poor students besides creating suitable atmosphere for their education.''
