Kailash appealed to the audience to become solutions to obvious problems such as those faced by the children. \u201cOur children are our present and our future. We have to protect our children. Less than a week of global military spend can send all the children in the world to good schools,\u201d he said, adding \u201ceach of us can become solutions. We should transform our passion into social action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Development Dialogue hosts a set of deliberations to connect social actions to meet challenges faced by underserved sections of communities. According to Kailash, the Dialogue touched many crucial aspects of the work that can be done to make the country a better place. \u201cThere are two main things that can drive this transformation: one is the youth with their young energy, innovations, new ideas. Secondly, (the impact will come from) how you have linked technology and education with farmers and agriculture,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"28846205985_f7c38f4423_z\"](\"https:\/\/www.deshpandefoundationindia.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/28846205985_f7c38f4423_z-300x200.jpg\")
He called on innovators and social entrepreneurs gathered at the summit to be sensitized to the issues that children across the world face. Bringing the issue of child labor and child trafficking to center stage, he said that the\u00a0world over, the business of child trafficking was a business worth $150 billion annually. \u00a0\u201cAcross the world, 168 million children are forced to work, 58 million children have no access to education, 150 million children have been forced to leave school before attending, and 5.5 million children are enslaved and unable to lead a free life,\u201d he said, enlisting the plight of unfortunate children across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n
