them have basic essentials met to enable them
lead near normal lives. In order to plan
appropriately for these numbers of disadvantaged
children, there is need to know those receiving
services and those that are not. This can be
best done by developing a database on
individuals receiving services and the type of
services they receive. In addition, there are
destitute adults and elderly people being
provided with services and these too need to be
captured.
