CID calls up School chalo campaign to ensure that nobody is left out from school in their localities. As CID believes that a child out of school child is a potential child labor keeping this consideration, CID regularly organize thgis campaign in the child labor infested area and slums of Gwalior. CID has been undertaking School Chalo project during school admission period since the last few years and our humble grass root level efforts have produced tangible results. Though the Right to Education Act has made education of every child between 6 and 14 year a fundamental right, it still remains as yet another unfulfilled promise. Instead of depending on the bureaucracy alone, both the central and state governments should support the efforts of voluntary organizations in order to fulfill this constitutional obligation.
SCHOOL CHALO ABHIYAN is a campaign to enroll children into regular schooling and it is a regular feature of the organization from the past many years. The outcome of this campaign is giving noble result and the number of children from target area getting enrolled into regular school is increasing progressively. To make this possible first of all we surveyed the locality of targeted area of deprived community then after CID staff, Volunteers and members of Bal Panchayats establish personal communication to motivate parents to enroll children in schools. CID particularly emphasis on Girl Child enrollment in school. We organize awareness activities like meetings, door-to-door contact, wall writing, exhibitions, puppet show, rallies etc. CID initiate School Chalo Abhiyan regularly in child labor infested area to enroll children who are out of school in to formal school to keep these children away from work. CID volunteers also facilitate enrollment of Children in schools and aware community about right to education bill under which all children from 5 to 14 must be in school CID involve local community leaders, social workers, teachers, children of Bal Panchyat. Children from Schools and children from CID center are mobilizing to run this campaign.
