The social, economic and cultural development of a nation rests largely on the educational attainment of its people. A low level of literacy in a population retards the progress of a Nation. As such the outreach of education to every stratum of society is a subject of great concern. Indian literacy rate grew to 74.04% in 2011 from 12% at the time of independence in 1947. Although this is remarkable, but the level is well below the world average literacy rate of 84%, and India today has the largest number of illiterate population on earth and it is estimated that by the year 2020 over 50% of the illiterate population will live in India. Although West Bengal has made considerable progress in the field of literacy with the literacy rate 48.6% in 1981 to 68.64% in 2001 and 77.10% in 2011, there are large numbers of children 144,945 in the age group of 3-14 years in Kolkata who are not in school and 5-14 years who are 94,164 totally spend their time on streets (West Bengal Resource group 1999). As per 2011 Census report in India roughly 1.37 crore households or 17.4% of urban households live in slums. Kolkata has a total population of 4,486,679 persons, of which 2,362,662 are males and 2,124,017 are females. Among the total population, 1,457,273 are slum inhabitants which accounts for 32.48% of total population (Census of India 2011). This study tries to understand comprehensively the prevailing conditions in slums of Kolkata and assess the impact of living condition, home and surrounding environment, parental education, school condition on elementary education of slum children of Kolkata in 6-14 years age group. Education plays a pivotal role in laying a proper foundation for the overall socio-economic development of any region. Millennium Development Goals Goal No. 7 (Ensure Environmental Sustainability) focuses explicitly on urban area, where target No. 11 sets to achieve a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers by 2020. Standing at this juncture the researcher feels the need to understand and evaluate the present scenario of Deprived Urban Slum Children of 6-14 years age group of Kolkata in regard to access and retention of elementary education of satisfactory quality.
