Abstract: An important part of the worldwide movement to end child labour is helping former child workers make the transition to formal schooling. This objective is mostly pursued in India via the National Child Labour Project. There are a lot of encouraging results from the study. For example, there is evidence of sufficient education quality and availability, and there are high percentages of providing kids with both free learning materials and lunch. On the other hand, concerns were also highlighted, such as insufficient provision of free health care to children who choose to attend school instead of labour and anomalies in stipend payments to parents of child workers who send their children to school. The study uncovered certain operational shortcomings that hinder the project’s efficacy by reducing the motivation and capacity of parents to send their children to school instead of working.
