The story of how it came to be published is very interesting and deserves to be told. Today, this publication touches the lives of almost 10,000 street children. Childhood Enhancement through Training and Action (CHETNA) is a public charitable trust founded in 2002. This organisation empowers street children in many ways and one of its main points of focus is education. It helped the first bunch of street children it supported to form a federation of their own, which they call Badte Kadam.
