National Child Labor Project Scheme 2022 Online Registration

National Child Labor Project Scheme INTRODUCTION:- Children are a valuable asset to any society. They constitute a very large segment of our population. As per the 2011 Census, persons below the age of 14 years account for 29% of the total population while persons between the age group 14-18 years account for another 10% of the total population.

The child’s natural place is at school and the playground. However many children are unfortunately denied these basic development opportunities in childhood. They instead get burdened with work because of poverty, irregular income streams for the family, economic shocks, ignorance, lack of access to social security, education, health facilities, food security, etc. The 2013 World Report on Child Labor prepared by the ILO has observed that child labor can compromise the productive capacity of workers during adulthood and thereby constrain both national economic growth and efforts to reduce poverty.

The phenomenon of child labor is due to socio-economic compulsions. The government’s policy is, therefore, to prohibit child labor in hazardous employment and regulate their working conditions in other employment/occupations. The working children are deprived of the basic needs for their development, such as education, health care, nutrition, etc. The purpose underlying the Scheme is to identify child labor and to make available welfare inputs to them through voluntary organizations.

The National Child Labor Policy is approved by the Cabinet on 14th August 1987 during the Seventh Five Year Plan Period. The policy is formulated with the basic objective of suitably rehabilitating the children withdrawn from employment thereby reducing the incidence of child labor in areas of known concentration of child labor.

What is Child Labor?

• Child Labor refers to the exploitation of children for any form of work that would deprive them of gaining equal access to education and a normal childhood.
• This results in the victimized child being used mostly for physically, socially, and mentally harmful work.
• India currently is home to more than 10 million child laborers, despite the various legislations and efforts taken in this direction by the Indian Government.
• The elimination of child labor is essential to achieve the set developmental goals of the government by 2030.

Grant in Aid on Child Labor

Funds under Grants-in-Aid Scheme are sanctioned directly to NGOs for the elimination of Child Labor in districts not covered by the NCLP Scheme. Under the scheme, voluntary agencies are given financial assistance by the Ministry of Labor on the recommendation of the State Government to the extent of 75% of the project cost for the rehabilitation of working children. Voluntary organizations have been receiving funds under the scheme since 1979-80. Currently, about 70 voluntary agencies are being assisted.
