Speakers at a discussion stressed the need for bringing the underprivileged street children under mainstream development by providing them with basic facilities especially education, health and shelter.
Privileged groups of the society should do something for development of the street children, they said, adding if every rich family comes forward with supports, no children would have to reside on streets.
