A tragic number of them are simply not counted at all—they become invisible, and the system calls it "adjusted enrollment." In our documentation drives, we find girls in my own neighbourhood who were married off during closures and are now just listed as "transferred out" or "discontinued," their dreams erased from the ledger. It breaks the myth that all children returned! My own survey in three Vijayawada bastis showed for every happy first haircut kiddo in my salon, there's a teen who never went back to school, their future snipped away. Ayyo, it's a silent tragedy.
