Pune Education Dept Surveys Children of Single Mothers

The Education Department in Pune, India, is doing a special survey for the first time.

They want to find out how many children have single mothers in the state.

This is because single mothers often have a hard time taking care of their children's education.

The survey is being done in all the districts of Maharashtra.

So far, 17 districts have sent their information.

The goal is to help these children by giving them special support and facilities.

A social worker named Heramb Kulkarni said that there are about 54 lakh single mothers in the state, but the exact number of their children is not known.

This survey will help the government make better decisions to support these children.
