ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to convey our immense thanks to all those who have supported us in
one way or the other during the evaluation process. We take this opportunity to
submit our gratitude to Mr. Sanjeev Kumar, IAS, National Co-ordinator, ILO,
Bangalore, for his wholehearted co-operation for the Vivekananda Institute for
Leadership Development in completing this evolution assignment.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the chairman of NCLP Society and
District Commissioner of Chamarajanagar Mr. Vishwanath Reddy, IAS for his
continued co-operation throughout this assignment. We earnestly thank the Project
Director of NCLP Society and the co-operation of all the staff members. We would
like to convey our heartfelt thanks to each of them.
It is an important sign of maturity as evaluators are usually seen with suspicion and
defensive attitudes are more the rule than the exception. They have been looking to
this evaluation as a help for their own self-evaluation. We hope they will not be too
disappointed by its candid content and tone. We are, indeed, impressed by the
cumulative knowledge they represent in NCLP. NCLP has shared with the outside
agency. By doing so, NCLP’s relevance, efficiency, effectiveness and outreach can
continuously improve.
We would also like to convey our gratitude for the support of all the Block
Community Animators, Community Animators and Teachers of the project for
extending their helping hand to identify the child labour families and for
participating in the evaluation.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
International Labour Organization and District Administration of Chamarajanagar
initiated Karnataka Child Labour Project (KCLP) to combat child labour and Economic
Exploitation among the Adolescents in Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka state. As the
three year project is nearing one year of completion of its field interventions an evaluation
of the whole program was carried out. The evaluation conducted in order to understand
the achievements of the project and to document the process adopted in the project
implementation. This evaluation report is also attempted to provide the suitable
recommendation for the effective implementation of the project in the forthcoming days.
Vivekananda Institute of Leadership Development, working as District Lead Agency in
the project has been assigned with the task of conducting this evaluation. The Project
Implementation Committee awarded this assignment to VILD considering the concurrent
evaluation of the project taken up in the past. An evaluation team consisted of FOUR
members for the duration of 25 days worked for the assignment.
Methodology Followed: The evaluation conducted with the participatory approach. These included file and
document reviews, case studies, important stakeholders, site visits, group meetings, focus
group discussion and direct observation of schools, training centers and day care centers
and rehabilitation centers. The opinions of various stakeholders such as DBC and RBC
teachers, school going children, children in DBC and RBC, SHG group women and
community members were collected to assess the impact of the program. The evaluation
was carried out in selected five villages of the Chamarajanagar district.

IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 9
Salient Findings
Environment building activities undertaken by project is appreciable. The media, posters,
street play, wall paintings was great benefit to the community as the picture concept could
disseminate the awareness about child labour and advantages of sending the child to
school through the visual method.
Community awareness is gradually increasing with the wide spread awareness activities.
Common statement from the people observed “Child labour should not be practiced in
our village, we have been told by people of NCLP”. With the backdrop of developmental
scenario of Chamarajanagar which is positioned in 25th place as per the Human
Development Report of Karnataka 2005, the effectiveness of environment building activity
is substantial.
More specifically, the evaluation noted a good achievement in capacity building activities
right from grass root level community based organizations to the Government officials.
The district lead agency had imparted series of training programs to project employees
and representatives of partner NGOs. The training project staff have implemented
relevant training program for community members and representatives of community
based organizations. Notable factor is capacity building activity for the members of
women SHG. Another important aspect observed is, project has built up the capacity of
around EIGHT voluntary organizations associated in its activity to voice against child
labour.
The most appreciable factor in the project is its endeavor to produce most necessary and
qualitative IEC (Information Education and Communication) materials. The publications
brought out by the project such as Aralu Mallige (resource book for school drop outs), Self
Help Group manual, Hand book on Puppetry, Street Play Hand Book are extensively
lauded by various subject experts and stakeholders.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 10
The resource material brought out by the District Lead Agency, Viveka Vidhya a hand
book for DBC teachers and Viveka Chethana a hand book for Community Animators
proved to be very good and effective training input. Teachers were trained in multilevel
and multi grade teaching and follow joyful learning methodology in the bridge learning
centers.
Convergence could reflect the project’s impact. Day bridge centre established by the
project and implemented for the duration of ten months are now being adopted by “Sarva
Shiksha Abhiyan”.
The DBC are child friendly and relatively successful in attracting retaining the children in
the centers. The schools were unique as the education was imparted through fun activities
and play way method. This retained the child’s interest towards coming to school.
The third party concurrent evaluation system adopted in the project is being effective and
proved to be useful. The monitoring mechanism adopted here supported the project in
terms of planning and implementation. The District Lead Agency is making periodical
monitoring visits to each project area and submitting report to NCLPS and National
Coordinator, ILO. The model of assigning both capacity building and monitoring to one
agency is unique. This has made the Lead District Agency to involve in the project and
responsible to work for the project’s success.
Effectiveness of community involvement can be seen through the resource materials
received to Day bridge centre by various community members. DBCs have been donated
with chairs, tables, cooking vessels, plates, pencils, note books, uniforms etc by
community members. Materials were mobilized from SHG members and other
stakeholders to DBC. During the interaction with the stake holders, almost all of them
know about the project activities and they are involved in one or the other way. This
depicts that a strong networking system with different stake holders has been built.

IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 11
With respect to bringing convergence and getting the benefits of Government schemes to
the Child Labor families on priority basis, project has taken many initiatives. Project is
putting its effort to get the benefits of schemes like old age pension, widow pension
scheme, and pension to disabled family members, electricity facilities, ration cards to all
the eligible child labour families. Few Child Labour Families have obtained the house
under Ashraya Housing schemes with the support of project.
The Self Help Group approach to federate mothers of child labour is found to be effective.
The project has made remarkable progress in formulating new SHGs and strengthening
defunct SHGs as per the expectation. This component addressing women’s strategic
needs such as: access to microfinance, markets and income earning activities. Groups are
being recognized in decision-making with respect to the village developmental activity.
The federated groups are now exhibiting their support to project in achieving its objective.
The effort of the project in creating opportunity for the child labour families to augment
income is appreciable. The labour market survey has been conducted to identify the
marketable and employable skills in the project area. The survey has been conducted
following scientific research methodology. The vocational skills training programs for the
mothers and elder siblings of the child labours are in progress. The trained mothers group
in Annurukeri and Sagade villages of the project area have involved in income generation
activity.
Evidence on the involvement of local communities in the programme was recurrently
observed during the evaluation. This occurred for all types of activities (rehabilitating
child labourers, SHG group formation and Vocational skill training) supported by the
programme.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 12
With respect to bringing sustainability to its efforts, project has initiated measures and
results till date are optimistic. SSA has come forward to adopt the Day bridge centre of
the project, various Government departments have started giving preference to the child
labour families in providing benefits of schemes, SHG groups women are raising voice on
various developmental issues, SDMC and community members are sensitized and eight
NGO’s who were working in different issues earlier are now working on Child labour
issues.
Initially project had attempted to test the alternative model of administrative structure
other than recommended in APSO. The Community Animators have been directly
appointed by the project and in the initial day’s majority of awareness building activities
have been implemented by the project directly. The evaluation team observed delay in
implementation of project activities due to this model. But the appreciable fact is project
has already taken corrective measures by changing its modus operandi i.e working
through local voluntary organizations as suggested by APSO.
The project could have involved local voluntary organization in the implementation
activities more extensively. The project can give more provisions for the local agencies
including community based organization with the vision of bringing sustainability to the
endeavor.

2. INTRODUCTION
2.1 Introduction of the Mid Term Evaluation This assignment is to evaluate IPEC-KCLP project “Combating Child Labour and
Economic Exploitation amongst Adolescents”. The project is being implemented by
National Child Labour Project Society with the support of International Labour
Organization and Italian Cooperation.
The evaluation has done to assess how well the strategies envisaged the processes and
how well they need further fine tuning alterations. The evaluation provides guidance to
project for developing a new Country Strategy Outline (CSO). The strategies were
a) Prevention and withdrawal child labour through awareness raising and
education.
b) Strengthening grass root level institutions block level institutions, NCLPs and
state level Institutions.
c) Self Help Group formation for participatory development and self sustaining
social change.
d) Income generation through skill training and self employment promotion.
The project envisaged implementation of two components i.e. strengthening district
administration and education and awareness raising component through the National
Child labour Project Society at District level.
Components of project and brief introduction of each component is given below:
1. Prevention and withdrawal of child labour through awareness raising and
education: This component through communication, capacity building and counseling
tries to change the mindset of the parents, employers, teachers, anganwadi workers,
gram panchayat members, community leaders, children and community at large to
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 14
bring back the working children first
to Bridge School and mainstream at
the late stage. This component also
addresses preventing newer children
entering labour.
2. Self Help Group approach for
participatory development and self sustaining social changes: Women self help
groups trained in thrift and credit activities are one of the important and effective
poverty alleviation interventions. The SHG strategy is potent vehicle to address
poverty and livelihood issues, factors that adversely impact children and compel them
to move into the labour market. Women self help group accelerates the possibility of
higher active participation of the community in any grass root institution and plays an
empowering role to access the available resources with government , semi government
and civil society institution on the sustainable basis.
3. Modular Based Vocational Training: Module: This objective would be to provide
practical training to vulnerable adolescents who would enable them to obtain decent
employment opportunities in local industries, trade, agriculture and service sector.
2.2 Background of the evaluation International Labour Organization and District
Administration of Chamarajanagar initiated
Karnataka Child Labour Project (KCLP) to
combat child labour and Economic
Exploitation among the Adolescents in
Chamarajanagar district of Karnataka state.
The three year project is nearing one year of completion of its field interventions. Project
felt it is essential at this stage to document and evaluate the processes of each component
and assess how well the strategies envisaged the processes and how well they need

IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 15
further fine tuning alterations. The evaluation provides guidance to project for developing
a new Country Strategy Outline (CSO).
2.3 Methodology Followed
The methodology adopted for evaluation method is a participatory approach. These
included file and document reviews, case studies, key informant interviews, site visits,
group meetings, focus group discussion and direct observation of schools, training centers

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Looking at the extensiveness of the project and its intervention areas, time
provided was short. Since the evaluation is conducted by the Lead District Agency
which is already involved in the project, the preparatory time was minimized and
utilized for field visits.
This is qualitative study and hence case studies, numerical projections, community
responses are only indicative
It was difficult to get the time of key district administrative officials and heads of
various Government departments amidst their busy schedule. They were also
engaged in making necessary preparation for forthcoming election for legislative
assembly
Partial accomplishment of preparing case studies of children in DBC, child labour
families and comprehensive achievement report by the project hindered the
evaluators to get complete update of the project

3. PROJECT DESIGN Considering “family” as the unit instead of just a “child” is the real uniqueness of this
project. The different APSOs which have been written in detail provide comprehensive
information of about the project deliverables. The plan and strategies of project is worked
out very much in detail explaining output expected and action item for each output.
The project has three different APSOs
i. Prevention and withdrawal of child labour through awareness raising
sand education, provides comprehensive guideline and plan with respect to
environmental building and education
ii. Self Help Group approach for participatory development and self
sustaining social changes provides complete guidelines to establish Self
Help Group approach and Income Generation activities focusing mothers of
the child labour.
iii. Modular Based Vocational Training: Module, a guideline to provide
Vocational Training Program for elder siblings of the child labour.
Overview of Observation:
• The design of the project is very much comprehensive. Since each output and
activities are defined provides clear cut guideline to the project implementers.
• Though it may be very much early to comment, the devised project design is
practical and relevant.
• The paradigm shift from “child” centric to “family” centric model is reaching the
beneficiaries and lauded by different stakeholders.
• The strategy of involving local voluntary organization in project implementation
shall facilitates in bring sustainability even after the project completion.

media are the major tools incorporated in the project for environment building activities.
Project also published hand book on puppetry, street plays. The efficacy of environment
building tools has been evaluated. Wall painting was the major appealing factor in creating
awareness. The media, posters, street play was a great benefit for the community which also
became a pushing factor for them to participate in the child labor eradication project.
The effectiveness of environmental building tools was analyzed by following method
depicted in below chart

The Effectiveness of environmental building tools:
Wall paintings were the major appealing factor in creating awareness. The media, posters, street
play was a great benefit for the community which also became a pushing factor for them to
participate in the child labor eradication project.
4.1.1. Wall paintings These pictures were of two designs which have been adopted for the wall paintings in the
project.
The above diagram indicates the effectiveness of the awareness tools used in the program in the descending order of its importance from bottom to top
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 24
The above graph of community opinion clearly indicates the effectiveness of the wall
painting as the tool to create awareness against child labour.
Concept and Execution: The wall paintings are in the main places where the community
could access it and mostly were near government school, bazaar, milk dairy, food
cooperative society, gram panchayat office, bus stops and main roads. The designs were
appealing for both literate and illiterates. The picture concept could disseminate the
awareness about child labour and importance of sending the child to school.
Impact
Among the awareness activities and the tools used by the project to reach the community,
wall paintings was the major appealing tool in creating awareness among the community.
Wall Painting stands ahead of other tools used.

Recommendations
The designs of the wall paintings need to be finalized in consultation with the local
stakeholders.
Places for the wall paintings should be selected in consultation with key members of the
village.
A place which is clean and accessible for everyone should be chosen instead of shaggy
places such as near toilet, near dustbin zone etc.
Concepts which are relevant to the rural setup as there are regional variances. For e.g.
the spanner design was not relevant for the Hindu community and village children as
they do not opt for the automobile workshop job.
The recommended factors to be included in the wall painting in future; is to incorporate
pictures such as sheep rearing, farming and working at house, looking after children
etc..
“The growing tree shows the growth of child through education and the bent tree which shows the fall of the child through labour. Now I realized the mistake I was doing. Many of our women have seen these pictures, and can understand the message.” Muniamma, mother of Siddaraju, rehabilitated child labour studying in bridge school. ”Wall paintings are drawn in appropriate places like school, bazaar street and main road. The pictures are effectively reaching our villagers and even illiterate people are able to understand the message. I am dreaming, how nice it will be if all our children are in school”. S. Revanna Siddegowda, Child Labour Eradication Committee member. ‘’After I saw these pictures near bazaar I felt the pain and the children who are to be in school are working in fields and we parents have to stop it’’.

4.1.2 Posters and Printed Material Posters and Printed Material
Project has brought out printed materials such as diary,
calendar, and pamphlets to create awareness about child
labour problem as the part of environment building exercise.
The dairies were distributed among the project staff and
Government Officials.
Concept: The message on dairy and calendars was very clear
and as said by stakeholder like Block Education Officers, labour
officer and teachers etc. Calendars were present in day bridge
centre / residential learning centers, government offices and
implementing agencies. This was the notable thing and
stakeholders were aware that the calendars have been
distributed from NCLP and utilizing the calendar.
Impact: This component of creating awareness through printed materials such as dairy and
calendar was attained to a maximum level, this was clearly understood when Monitoring

themes were very relevant to
the child labour issues. The
concepts were enacted by
the drama troop hired by the
NCLP. Group members are
professionals; who were
assigned to conduct the street
plays in all the villages and
places of Chamarajanagar where the project was implemented. The street plays themes

IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 29
Impact: The street plays were also a tool used to disseminate the information of child
labour issue. Many of the villagers said that they watched the street plays. Street plays
were appealing and attracted majority of the male crowd and few women could watch the
street plays. The concept of child labour was quite clear and was performed well. These
street play contents were very much appreciated by the stakeholders. The artist’s full
talents were explored in the street play and this could fill the life for the play.
‘’These street plays are informative and I watched these street plays, when these
artists are enacting the play I completely got involved and the story is in my mind, and
I am thinking if my parents had admitted me to school I would have been a literate. So
if I see any kid working I advice their parents to send them to school and I see that the
child is in school.’’ - Rakesh, aged 21, youth
”I watched street plays and it is very informative and I felt we parents are responsible
for this child labour issue and so I am now sending my children to the school.’’

Comment of Theater Professional on Street Play Handbook:
To analyze the effectiveness and the quality of the street play hand book brought out by the
project, the evaluation team interacted with renowned
theater artist Mr. Vasudeva Murthy associated with famous
theater “Natana”, Mysore.
Mr. Vasudhev Murthy appreciated the present work of
writer. He said the plays depict the rich experience of the
writer. The selected series of stories clearly indicates the writer’s concern to fight for the
child rights, love for children, and hatred towards the child labour system. He said the
themes adopted and the language used in the hand book depicts the human concern of the
writer. In total he lauded the quality of the hand book and opined it is beyond any
yardstick to grade.
Mr. Murthy said “the hand book is not just discusses the issues related to child labour but
also through the light on various Government schemes and other developmental issues.
The street plays shall definitely create comprehensive awareness in the community. My
appeal is to reach this street plays properly to the community”.
Suggestion:
There was also recommendation from women groups that, they want to watch these
street plays and so they suggested to organize during SHG meetings. If this is done,
they need not have to feel shy of the men’s crowd and not been of husbands abuse.
Street plays were very effective in generating mass awareness; this can be implemented
in all the Taluka.

the project is to train teachers on street play handbook. Project can discuss to
incorporate street play as one of the major theme in the workshop. So, instead of
reorganizing the entire program project can plan to utilize the opportunity with the
association of education department.

4.1.3 Video Clippings: Video clippings is used effectively, themes and picturization is good. Many stake holders
have appreciated the quality of video clippings. The language used in the clippings is
simple, it communicates clear message even to the rural folk. The video clippings
picturised on child working in hotel, in household work etc. It was also observed that
Step 1: A team of drama artists to be selected in each block of the project area Step2: Artist team fist visits the local Government School and train a group of children, particularly from CLASS V and VI. At least TWO teachers also should be trained. Step 3: Artists shall train the teachers and children group for the duration of 8 hours on TWO selected theme. Step 4: At the end of the day, artists along with the trained team from the school shall perform street play in the village.

gender equality has been followed in picturising the video. Importance of providing
education to the girl child is also focussed in the clipping.
It was also observed that project administration with the support of District Commissioner
has taken measures to display video clippings in the cinema theatre.
4.1.4 Puppetry Project has brought out a Hand book on puppetry. Very less work has been done about
resource book on puppetry in Kannada language. The initiative taken by the project is
appreciable. This material could be of best source for the performers.
The endeavor of the project is very much appreciable as it is shown to rejuvenate one of the
folk art which is at the verge of extinct.

4.1.5 Jatha, Rallies, Exhibitions, World child labour day and workshop
Jatha and Rallies have been more effective
in disseminating the awareness about child
labour in the project. The message could
reach the ears of majority of the community
members. Few of the community members
and stake holders even participated in
these outreach activities. There is
awareness and alarm created in the
community in regard to hire the child labourers. Project has extensively utilized “Jatha” as
major tool in environmental activity. The children of regular Government School were also
the part of the Jatha. This has also facilitated in building relation with the teachers of
schools and SDMC members.
Prize Winning Tablo: This tablo with the theme against child labour won the first prize in “Karnataka Rajyothsava (anniversary of Karnataka state) organized by district administration”

Impact of the outreach activities was assessed and the stated quotes of stakeholders
highlight that. Villagers are now aware of social and legal consequences of sending the
children to work. The above response depicts the impact and also states that how effective
the outreach activities were conducted by the project personnel.
Importance of World day against child labour:
World day against child labour was celebrated very effectively. All the key stakeholders were
invited and children in DBC (former child labourers) actively took part in these programs.
Children talents were boosted up as they participated in all the cultural activities organized
“I have participated in various programmes like Jatha, Mela, street play organized
by the community animator and the teachers. These outreach activities are very
informative and make the villagers to understand that children should not be sent to
work. Ms. Mallamma, Mother of Child Labour now in school, Kollegal Taluk

in the program. Mass awareness program was conducted quite frequently. These awareness
programs formed a dais for all the stakeholders and community to gather. The program was
celebrated for one week in all the blocks as a campaign. Project employed different strategies
such as orientation programs for shop owners, sticker campaign, film shows, children rally,
seminar on various tilts such as ‘’child labour in agriculture - challenges and opportunities”
in collaboration with Karnataka State Raitha Sangha, the revolutionary farmers
organization during the campaign. Series of Jatha and street plays were conducted during
the week long program. The program was succeeded in attracting the attention of the district
and creates a strong awareness against child labour.
Awareness Generation: Widespread awareness generation to create a positive climate for
children to go to school and not to work was successfully achieved. Effective utilization of
print and electronic media, Sensitization Programme for all Government officials on child
rights, training for Women Groups, Parent-Teachers Association, and Panchayat Presidents
on the issues relating to child labour made a drastic difference in handling the child labour
issue and community participation in eradication of child labour.
4.1.5. Utilization of Mass Media Newspapers have been among the cohesive elements in the community. The evaluation to
analyze the utilization of media as an important awareness tool was done. The evaluators
went through the news clippings gathered by the project. Evaluation of newspapers coverage
of NCLPs Project has highlighted the coverage of all the aspects such as main streaming the
child labourer, rehabilitation and vocational training, research related to child labour in the
district, awareness among the students, and also human resource requirements for the
project. Newspapers have also reported the programs such as Jatha, street plays, workshops
and training events of the projects. Majority of the activities of the NCLP program have been

IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 36
reported in the local newspaper. The journalists have also come forward to provide publicity
to the project.
Observations and Suggestions
Periodicity and Continuity: The news coverage of the programmes was more during the
beginning of the project period i.e December, January, February and March 2007. During
this time events such as inauguration of Day Bridge School, Jatha etc have been reported.
In order to reach the community effectively, there needs to be continuity in utilizing news
papers.
Media Plan: A media plan should be adopted. News should not be limited just to report
events but also should be used as strong tool to create awareness. Project needs to plan to
report stories, articles, law and recent amendment in laws related to child labour. The
proper media strategy needs to be evolved with reference to extent of media involvement,
media mix and utilizing electronic media. A workshop involving key project members
and stakeholders may help in devising media strategy.
Focusing on Case Studies: To reach the community effectively the stories on “Child
Labours” and “Success Stories of Rehabilitated Children by the project” can be initiated
with the support of media. A weekly series could be commenced. Plan to reach of project
activities through the media to be reached to the state and national level.
Workshop for Media Personnel: Media personnel and Journalists needs to be considered
as one of the prime stakeholders in activities related to Environmental Building and
awareness generation. They are expected to play a bigger role than just being
participators or as the third party observers having no involvement in the project.
Environment needs to be created to make them proactively involved in building
awareness. To achieve this goal “workshop” for Journalists is necessary.
Conclusion: The wall paintings , media, posters, street play, was a great benefit to the
community as the picture concept could disseminate the awareness about child labour and

IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 37
advantages of sending the child to school through the visual method. Community
understood “there is NCLPs project and we should not do the mistake of sending the child to
labour or hire child labourers’. The role of environmental building activities is laudable in
this regard.
4.2 Capacity Building Exercise
4.2.1 Capacity Building for community:
Project has taken initiative to enhance the capacity of members of community based
organizations and key stake holders from the community. The training given by the Lead
Agency - Vivekananda Institute for Leadership Development such as Training of Trainers on
Hand book on SHG Module, Foundation course of Community Animators and Key Project
staff of NCLPs, Foundation course for teachers etc facilitated the project employees to
implement capacity building exercise at the field level. Project has also implemented training
program for enforcement officials.
The project employees have conducted series of training program for various stakeholders on
“problems of child labour and role of community in combating child labour”. The programs
were organized for members of School Development and Monitoring Committees,
Anganawadi, Teachers, Village Panchayath and community leaders. The project has partially
accomplished the targeted number of participants. The effectiveness of training programs is
satisfactory and provided impetus for community involvement in the activities. The details of
total number of programs conducted and participants covered are cited in below table.

4.2.2 Capacity Building for Project staff and Key implementers
Project has given enough thrust to enhance the capacity of human resource involved.
Generally in any other project, capacity building part will always be given less prominence.
This unique initiative taken by the project is showing the sign of leaving residue has even
after its end. The background of the project area indicates very less awareness about the child
labour issue. There was a dearth for trained human resource and sensitized voluntary
organization in the child labour issue. Now project has built up the capacity of around
EIGHT voluntary organizations associated in its activity.
Vivekananda Institute for Leadership Development, the District Lead Agency in the project is
assigned with task of organizing series of training programme.

Gender-Just Training
Project has also focused on importance of Girl Child Education. To persuade community
about importance of providing education for Girl child and in order to bring gender just
approach in teaching methodology, teachers were trained on “Gender and Education”.
In order to carefully examine the gender discrimination and to sensitize the project staff
especially Community Animators “Gender and Development” training was organized.
The impact of this has been identified in the community. DBC teachers are working hard
amidst of lot of customs of the community by convincing them to send the girl child to the
school. The Community Animators are working with SHG groups. Though the Community
Animator brought up in the same community they have started raising voice against some of
the misconception prevalent in their practice on anti gender issues.

Suggestions
The hand outs for the community members and stakeholders attending training
program should be provided
The capacity building exercise for the various stake holders need to be
conducted periodically.
Project personnel can make a team consisting representatives of youth groups,
anganwadi workers, panchayath members etc in their respective villages and
conduct a TOT programmes, so that this group can be used as resource persons
in their training programmes.
Project workers can involve professionals and students belong to the field of
health, education, rural development etc. Involving the concerned subject
experts shall make the training programme lively and more informative.
The training should also be provided to the stakeholders residing in
surrounding villages of village panchayath headquarters.
“After undergoing Leadership and Team Management training programme I have inculcated
Leadership qualities and now I am effectively using it in planning project activities. The
program helped me to lead my team of Community Animators. My Reporting quality is
drastically improved after attending the Training programme. I convey my thanks to the Lead
Agency”

4.3 Running of Bridge Schools and Mainstreaming
4.3.1 Implementing Agencies Effectiveness The performance of implementing agencies in implementing the Day / Residential Bridge
Centres is relatively good. If the past experience of implementing agencies is observed, for
majority of the organizations running child labour bridge school is new experience. The
efforts of teaching staff in the learing centre are appreciable. Bring dropout children and
retaining them in the centers is not an easy task. The support of implementing agency to
accomplish this task is relatively good. Majority of the organization are also successful in
getting involved the community members. The materials such as pens, bags, books, uniform
for the children have been mobilized from the community.
Organizations are also successful in obtaining buildings from the local village panchayath
and community.
Networking and Convergence
The provision under the project is to run Day Bridge Centre for the duration of ten months.
Some of the children need bridge schooling further. Now the SSA has come forward to take
over the Day Bridge Centerʹs. This is an evidence of the convergence with Government
missionery in the project. The NGO’s role is also appreciable in this regard.
4.3.2 Effectiveness of DBCs and RBCs

4.3.2 Focus to migration children:
Migration is commonly seen in some of the areas of Chamarajanagar district. Most of the
migration takes place in the particular seasons of the year where people migrate to Coorg,
Tamil Nadu and Kerala as laborers in coffee/tea plantations and agricultural fields.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 45
Project has taken some initiative to cut the migration. The Day Bridge Centres have been
established in some of the migration prevalent villages. The Residential Centres are doing
good job in retaining the children though the parents migrates.
Further Suggested Plan for Migration Prevalent Areas
Step 1: Identify areas where the people are migrated. Step2: Need to do a need appraisal and analyze exact reason for the migration (is there any other reason than just an employment) Step 3: At the first level the targeted programme should be initiated to perceive parents not to take children with them and local arrangement for the children should be ensured ie enroll to RBC and SSA. Step 4: At the second level with the support of District Administration project should ensure reaching of benefits available under various Government schools to the families. Step 5: Since National Rural employment guarantee scheme is also being implemented in Chamarajanagar, project should make a plan to effectively utilize the scheme for the benefit for child labour families. Step 6: Vocational skill should be focused to these areas and financial assistance after the training programme should also be provided in order to facilitate the beneficiaries if they like to start self employment.

Suggestions
As DBC are nearing to end its period, teachers need to plan and record individual profile
of each child. The plan should specify about- Where the child will be placed in the next
three month time.
If the child needs further bridge schooling he should be placed in RBC; along with the
child’s case report. This will help the RBC teachers to know the child’s psychology and
learning level.
Each case study should be well documented and the process should be discussed with the
concerned NGO and then the file should be given to the NCLP for effective
documentation and maintenance of records.
DBC teachers and the NGO’s should have a weekly plan of action on the regular visits to
the children who are mainstreamed. They should act like a bridge between the children
and the government school teachers until the children are settled and build a good
adjusted with the mainstream school environment.
The implementing agencies, especially the organizations running RBCs are recommended
to be taken to other similar residential centers. This shall help the organization to get the
knowledge to improvise the centers.
Residential bridge centre should work as a resource centre as mentioned in the APSO.
4.3.5. Mobilizing Community and Stakeholders Evidence on the involvement of local communities in the programme was recurrently

and their opinions and feedback is documented. The structured formats have been designed
to do the appraisal of each project functionary. The response of the stakeholders is also
quantified to analyze the achievement of project.
Following diagram depicts the mechanism adopted in monitoring the project activities:
4.4.2 Utility of Third Party Monitoring Mechanism:
• Source of information to the NCLPS to understand the project effectiveness
The concurrent monitoring and evaluation visits are serving as the source of
information to the NCLPS. Since the monitoring process follows 360o mechanism, the
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 58
feedback of all the stakeholders shall be reached to the NCLPS. This process is
enabling the project implementers to understand the effectiveness of the activities and
expectation of various stakeholders.
The third party monitoring mechanism has marked its influence in making the
implementing agencies to bring effectiveness in the project planning and
implementation, financial management, team management, teaching methodology,
community mobilization.
• Continuous concurrent evaluation provides opportunity to take up corrective measures and to take appropriate decisions
The NCLPS is not necessary to wait for long period to take mid course corrective
measures. Since the evaluation carried at the interval of every three months to each
project implemented village, NCLPS can make strategies for the effective
implementation of the project based on inputs provided in the evaluation report.
• A channel for implementing agencies and the project staff to communicate their
views and opinions to NCLPS
The visits are not confined to monitor the activities. It has been serving as channel of
communication for implementing agencies (NGOs) and community members to
convey their opinions to the NCLPS.
• Provides input for Lead Agency to plan appropriate training programs to enhance
the knowledge and skills of project functionaries
The other foremost advantageous factor observed in this model is amalgamation of
both monitoring and capacity building task to single agency. The visits are providing
first hand information to the lead district agency about the project performance and
the lacunae. The leading district agency is able to tailor the capacity building activities
to the project staff if any knowledge and skill related gaps observed in them.

Impact
• On the spot feedback : Lead agency is immediately providing feed back to the
NCLP team for effective implementation
• Devising Formats: As per the feedback, the formats were designed such as activity format, documentation format for DBC, etc..
• Establishment of Systems in partner organizations: The suggestions given by the monitoring team as per the findings helped the partner organizations to build systems in their organization. Some of the organizations shared, they started maintaining personnel files, proper documentation, providing details behind each voucher, preparing project calendar etc.
• Relationship establishment with project stakeholders: Monitoring team
periodically visited various stakeholders especially government departments. This process also facilitated to develop a good rapport and establish a linkage between the project and other stakeholders.
Opinions of Project Stakeholders on concurrent monitoring:
“Frequent monitoring visits made us to plan project activities systematically. The
suggestions provided by the monitoring team helped us to improvise systems with respect
to administration, financial management and program implementation. Earlier I had the
notion that third party monitoring was to find our mistakes but later on I came to know this
is more helpful and supportive. We could improvise over reporting and documentation”-

4.4.2: Usage of monitoring tools:
As a part of Monitoring and evaluation activity, Lead Agency prepared many monitoring
tools for the project which helps to:
◊ Facilitate clear documentation.
◊ Helping the staff to capture activity taken during the reporting period.
Serving as self analysis tool
◊ Helping project to analyze target accomplishment.
◊ Provides input for all staff and organizations to device plan accordingly.
The following are the reporting formats, which was devised for the project. Weekly reporting formats for CA: This format is designed to ensure that all the CA’s would
document the activities undertaken in a week. In this format special focus is given to capture
the achievements of all the major works expected by the project which helps the BCA to plan
and guide the community animators to implement activities effectively.
Fortnightly reporting formats for BCA: This is designed specially for the Block community
animators, where in the information will be taken by their respective talukas. This helps the
project director to know the performance of each block.
Quarterly program report for NGO’s: This format was designed specially for the project
NGO’s. The report period will be for the span of three months, during this period
organizations have to give detailed information about their achievements against expected
targets. Along with this future action plan is also asked. This helps the project to go through
the report and helps them to guide the NGO in terms of further planning of project activities.

Activity chart for CA and BCA: Monitoring team prepared this format on the spot. This
format helps them to capture the statistics of the activities undertaken in the specific month
and also of the year comprehensively.
DBC’s Formats: A set of formats was specially designed to bring in uniformity and
effectiveness in documentation process of the DBCs. The formats were designed by the lead
district agencies in the participator manner involving teachers of DBCs and RBCs.

4.5 Income generation Trough Skills Training and self Employment promotion The initiative taken by the project to augment family income is worth to be appreciated. This
strategy is similar to the principal of “eradication of cause than the treating the disease”.
Poverty and lack of opportunities to augment the income of the family is one of the major
factors leading for the child labour.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 62
This component of the project targets:
• The mothers of child labour
• The elder siblings of child labour
Formation of Self Help Group and Skills Training for Mothers: The objective of the project is to provide vocational skills for 400 mothers. 51 new SHG
groups have formed by the project. The objective was to initiate 80 SHGs. There are 75
defunct SHG’s adopted by the project against expected number of 80. Since project is not
working in 35 Village Panchayath as per the plan, the present accomplishment of the project
is relatively good.

The SHGs newly formed and adopted by the project are receiving periodical training by the
community animators. The hand book on “Management of Self Help Group” produced by
the project is serving as guiding resource material to impart necessary capacity building
activities for group members. The “Trainer’s Training on Management of SHG” provided to
the community animators also facilitated to reach the crucial developmental issues to the
women in an effective way.
Community animators have been assigned with the task of managing SHGs. The groups are
being formulated and project staffs are facilitating them to open bank accounts. The SHG
women have started to join their hands with project staff in achieving the objective of
bringing child labours and school dropouts to the day bridge centres.
To understand the activities taken place with respect SHG and Income Generation activities
evaluation team had a discussion with the members of self help group established by the
project. Evaluator’s team interacted with the groups from Annurukeri village of Gundlupet
taluk, Bandigeri and Nagavalli village of Chamarajanagar taluk and Shettahalli and Minyam

community.
4.5.1. Market Analysis: Project has conducted “Labour Market Survey” to understand the marketability and
employability of the skills in Chamarajanagar districts. The District Lead Agency, Swami
Vivekananda Youth Movement had been assigned to conduct the survey.
4.5.2. Survey Methodology:
After analyzing the survey report, it was observed that the survey conducted with proper
planning and scientific approach. The survey has been conducted in all the working areas of
the project. A sample size for the survey was 25% and had the good of mix of respondents
from different castes, geographical area, education level etc. The purposive sampling has
been followed in the survey.
A detailed survey followed by a pilot survey exercise seems to have helped the survey team
in anticipating survey limitation and strategies the survey plan.
Another salient factor observed in the survey is considering the response of both “Supply”
and “Demand” side. From the supply side the mothers and elder siblings of child labour
have been considered. From the demand side the entrepreneurs, bank managers, the NGO
representatives, labour officers, personnel from district industries department have been
considered. The survey had helped the project to know the awareness level of beneficiaries
with respect to vocational skills, their need, post training support required, marketability of

Opinion of Sibling undergoing skills training program:
Training Program for Mothers: The training program for women members of SHGs
established by the project has been initiated. Nearly 100 mothers have been trained under
the project. The programs are conducted in order to suit the requirements of mothers the
training programs are being conducted in the village level. Three training program have
been conducted in Annurukeri village of Gundlupet Block, Nagavalli and Sagade village
of Chamarajanagar block.
In the first round of the mother training program, three SHG groups have been trained in
Agarbathi Making skills. The training programs was with the collaboration with the
reputed company “Cycle Brand Agarbathi”, whose representatives came forward to
provide post training linkages for trained women groups.
”After I got introduced to T. K. Mahadevamma (tailoring teacher) I was motivated to learn the tailoring. I know about the problems of child labour as my brother was a child labour, working in a shop. Later because of this project, our parents sent him to child labour school and at the same time I got the information of vocational training arranged for the child labour families. I am learning this skill and I would be taking this as my profession and be self-dependent and support my family” -Ms. Rohini, 16 years, Sibling of child labour, Vocational trainee

In the second round around three groups are identified to provide training program in
“Food Products and Processing”. The linkage has been established with JSS RUDSETI
situated in Chamarajanagar.
Post Training Support: The women trained in Agarbathi making skill have been provided
with market linkage. The representatives of the company are supplying required raw
materials to the doorstep of the women and also collecting finished product from them. In
Annurukeri village of Gundlupet Taluk some of the trained women are involved in
Agarbathi Making and earning average of Rs 60 per day.
Impact
Impact of the income generation through Skills and Training were assessed through their
following responses
Earlier our husbands used to suppress us
and not allowing us to go outside but now
my husband encouraged me to join SHG. I
have joined Alemellamma SHG group, and I

Earlier I was going to coolie (daily wages labourer),
and earn Rs 25 a day, but now I have started to earn on
my own. This is only because of the SHG group and

4.6.2. Time Gap in conducting the program:
The time gap is observed between completion of labour market survey and initiating the
training program. As per the opinion of district lead agency the lack of awareness about the
utility of the vocational skills amongst the beneficiaries is the major constraint. Though
project is ready to provide the training program, the beneficiaries are interested in short term
benefits such as loans to buy sheep, cattle etc and financial support for the present activity.
The project has taken up the task for building awareness about utility of vocational skills and
motivating the youth to perceive the training. This component is taking considerable time.
The other factor caused the time delay is lack of exposure of marketability of employability of
skills to the beneficiaries. The interest of beneficiaries is still towards traditional skills like
animal husbandry and other agricultural allied activities. The beneficiaries need to be
educated about present market demands.
4.6.3. Solution Adopted:
The lead agency is already conducting series of Focus Group Discussion in each Village
Panchayath. The elder siblings and mothers of the child labours are being invited and
oriented about various vocational skills and the opportunities.
Foundation course before enrolling the youth for vocational training is also being conducted.
In this course they are being provided with social and life skills program. The foundation
course is shall also be providing information of various vocational skills available to facilitate
the youth to make their choice.
The network with various reputed training agencies has been established including institutes
within the project area to pace up the training and organize parallel training batches.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 73
4.6.4. Suggestions:
The targeted number of adolescents to be training is more. The activity should be paced up.
The local training institutions need to be involved in the program.
The NCLPS should instruct the other implementing agencies to select and refer the youths to
the training program. Each organization should be assigned with specific targets.
Awareness related to the vocational skills to the parents and elder siblings should be
provided.
4.7 Upgrading Local industries: TECSOK had done “Sericulture policy research study” with an objective to establish child
labour free technology in sericulture processing units. The intention is to eradicate the
involvement of children in the sericulture processing units which is more prevalent in the
district. The task of validating the survey recommendation and mobilizing entrepreneurs to
adopt the technology is to MYRADA, an NGO working in Kollegal Taluk. When the
evaluators contacted Mr. Belle Gowda, Project coordinator of MYRADA, he shared that the
project was formally started from January 2008 and activities are to be initiated. Project has to
ensure the timely implementation of this activity.
4.8 Strengthening Community Monitoring Mechanism:
Project has already initiated activities such as capacity building for members of village
panchayath, SDMC, Anaganwadi etc. The CLEC is being strengthened at each village
panchayath level.
To have proper accountability and to ensure absolute community participation project needs
to have structured community monitoring mechanism. This is would also enables the project
activities to be sustainable.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 74
Involvement of enforcement officers, Enforcement officers, employers, Parents, other SHGs,
government officers, teachers, Members of SDMC , Gram Panchayat and Anganwadi
members. Project has given total thrust to strengthen the local agencies.
To give more attention project has entrusted Holy Cross organization to implement and
concentrate more activities. When the monitoring team contacted the Holy Cross
organization the concerned in charge shared that the activity has to be formally initiated. So
project needs to pace up the stipulated activities.
4.9 Child Track System Child track system is application software devised by the project. When the evaluators
interacted with the Project Director he shared, that Child track system helps to:
Tracking the children who are enrolled to Day bridge centre and Residential bridge
centre.
Through this system even the profile of adolescents or siblings of child labour families
can be easily obtained.
This system helps in to understand the socio-economic status of the child labour
families.
It also helps in knowing the family profile- family income, Reason for dropout from
schools.
Age of the children can be analyzed.
To know the background of children who are in the DBC and RBC.
This system also helps in knowing the details of SHG formation and its activities-
savings, trainings etc can be easily accessed.

4.10 Committees formed by the project
Various committees have been formulated in order to bring in sustainability to the endeavor
undertaken by the project.
Child labour eradication committee (CLEC): CLEC is a committee which acts as a
community based monitoring system to work for eradication of child labour in the area.
The main objective of this project is to ensure, that even after this project completion period,
the committee should actively ensure that the rights of the children are not violated. Through
this committee takes collective decision on various aspects like: eradication of child labour,
compulsory school education for all the children, best quality of school education, any

5. NETWORKING AND LINKAGES Efforts can be seen through the resource materials received to Day bridge centre by various
community members. Materials mobilized are chairs, table, clock, notebooks and pens to
DBC. Almost all the DBC generated things such as bags, books, tables, food from the
community, stake holders.
At the District level, the linkage between education department, labour department, social
welfare department, labour and industries department, department of women and child
development and the project is appears to be strong. The heads of each department has got
the understanding of the project activities and involved. Project is also successful in
establishing network with organizations like Child Welfare Committee and utilizing its
service. The project has perceived the departments to provide preference to the child labour
families in the schemes and benefits available.
Even at the taluka level and Village, project is successful in building good network. Officials
at the block level are actively participating in the project activities. The officials and local
organizations have supported in establishing DBCs and community mobilizations.
Suggestions:
Establish link with local employers association with the support of district industries
department.
Religious institutions should be involved in the project as their words are accepted by a
large rural mass.
Incentives to be given to Youth group to make them actively participate in the project.

6. EVIDENCE OF SUSTAINABILITY
• Sensitized Voluntary Organizations:
The project helped in building up a network of NGO’s in the area. Project has succeeded
to involve Eight NGO’s directly in the implementation of the activities. Project has
succeeded even in involving other NGOs active in the area. This project has even
sensitized and provided an opportunity for voluntary organizations to work for the
eradication of child labour. As the organizations are actively working in the project area
and in all probabilities they shall also voice against child labour and continue to work
for its eradication even after the project. The project has also imparted series of training
program to the NGOs for their capacity enhancement. Any future endeavors by any
other organizations for the similar cause would have competent organizations to
partner with.
• Equipped Man Power:
The project could bring in a good number of human resources and enhance their skill in
the field of community development. Many teachers, community animators, Block
community animators, other NGO staff, coordinators, etc have been appointed by the
project. They are also been trained in skills such as community mobilization, knowledge
about the government programs, management of community groups etc. Enough trhust
is also given to enhance the personal competency of each staff. A skilled set of
manpower shall be available for future community intervention activities. Majority of
these volunteers may also continuously be voicing against child labour in the area.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 84
• Community Participation:
The effort of making community to participate and take the ownership of the project is
substantial. The effort of the project is laudable especially in the district like
Chamarajanagara, which stands in 26th place in the State Human Development report
and awareness level is not so high. There were no substantial activities with respect to
eradication of child labour was undertaken in the district compared to the present
project activities. The community is realizing their roles and responsibilities. The present
project also created awareness about importance of education. The community is not
only participating in the activities of the project but also contributed either in cash or in
kind towards the activities.
The community participation in all the programs is either in one or more of the
following forms:
a) Contribution in terms of human resources – volunteering in the activities,
participation in Jatha and rally, identification of child labours etc
b) Contribution in kind of motivation – sending the working children to school by
advising children’s parents and motivate the parents to send them to schools
c) Resource contribution for books and stationeries for Bridge School children and also
for some furniture
There shall definitely be an impact of the project even after its completion where some representatives of the community are sensitized to voice and act against child labour.
• Awareness amongst women group members:
Women group were empowered to overcome many of these weaknesses such as social
backwardness, low economic status, illiteracy. There was awareness among them about
collective economic development; they were happy about their saving and their
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 85
statements indicate this ‘’madam we have collected about eight thousand rupees and we
will save more in next few months’’. They were trained in skills which could bring some
monetary help for their family; in this regard there were women who were making
agarbathi and earn money which support their family. They were requesting for other
skill development training in the field of dairy farming and silk rearing.
• Convergence with Government Schemes:
The project has initiated its effort to bring in participation of Government departments.
The evaluators have observed the endeavor of the project to reach benefits of
Government schemes to the child labour family on priority. Though it has not happened
in a large scale, the attempts have been initiated. Some of the families obtained House
under “Ashraya Housing Scheme”. Project has collected the list of eligible members
from child labour families to get the benefits such as old age pensions, disability
allowances, widow pension etc.
Another notable fact is the initiative taken by the project to hand over Day Bridge
Schools to Sarva Shikshana Abhiyan. The objective of the project was to run bridge
school for the duration of TEN months and it has neared the completion. Project had a
discussion with the guidance of district lead agency with the officials of SSA. Now the
DBCs are being handed over to SSA. This model is real example for involving
Government department with an intention to bring sustainability to the activities
initiated.

Overall the sustainability of the project depends on the extent to which Project is able to
strengthen the capabilities of its beneficiaries in the area. Their capacities has to be increased
with respect to decision making and to improve their ability to initiate action, and enhance
self-reliance. The fact that a high percentage of beneficiaries participation in constituting the
SHG ensures that the sense of community ʺownershipʺ and pride in the systems is high. Due
to these measures, the SHG component is expected to be quite sustainable.

7. RECOMENDATIONS
7.1 Environmental Building Activities: 7.1.1 Wall Paintings
Wall painting design and concept should be customized as per the area background such as
sheep rearing, working at houses to be included in pictures and the stakeholders consultation
is a must.
Design as per local scenario
In Mahadeshwara Hill, situated in Kollegal block more number of children are found as child
labourers; involved in selling incense powder called ‘Dhoopa’ for the pilgrims. Here, rather than going
for any other design project can directly depict the scenario which is happening right in front of the
people. So this will be more effective way to bring in awareness. Temple which is an religious institute
will definitely leave an imprint among the people’s mind as it is taken seriously by the community.
Process:
Meeting of members of Child Labour Eradication Committee in each project village should
be organized. The opinion of the members about design, place should be obtained.
7.1.2 Diary
• Suggestions were received to add more features and make changes in regard to
general information of the district, important phone numbers of local district
stakeholders, and interior design of the dairy.
• Dairies should be distributed appropriately in regard to time.
• Should be reached to all key Government Officials and village representatives.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 88
7.1.3 Posters and Other printed material
• Table calendar appears to be more useful compared to wall calendar as opined
by users
• Posters and stickers should be having more pictures than words as it needs to
target more of illiterate group of people also
7.1.4 Street play
a. There was also recommendation from women groups that, they want to watch these
street plays and so they suggested to organize during afternoon hours or at the time of
their SHG meetings. If this is done, they need not have to feel shy of the men’s crowd.
b. Street plays were very effective in generating mass awareness; this needs to be
implemented in all the Taluka.
c. Workshop to orient on Street play handbook for all the artist who shall be performing
street plays should be organized
d. Team of artists to train the selected teachers and children.
Process
Step 1: A team of drama artists to be selected in each block of the project area Step2: Artist team fist visits the local Government School and train a group of children, particularly from CLASS V and VI. At least TWO teachers also should be trained. Step 3: Artists shall train the teachers and children group for the duration of 8 hours on TWO selected theme. Step 4: At the end of the day, artists along with the trained team from the school shall perform street play in the village

IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 89
Department of public instruction has incorporated a new component called ‘’Theatre in
Education’’ to reach children effectively. The department has already conducting
workshops with the local theater groups for teachers. As one of the major objectives of the
project is to train teachers on street play handbook. Project can discuss to incorporate
street play as one of the major theme in the workshop. So, instead of reorganizing the
entire program project can plan to utilize the opportunity with the association of
education department.
7.1.5 Press / television and other mass media.
Project should develop a appropriate media strategy to be clear about
• Extent and time of involvement of media
• Media mix i.e involvement of print and electronic media and type of reports to be
covered
• Utilizing media to serve as an effective tool to achieve the goal rather than just a
publicity tool
Process
a. Periodicity and Continuity: In order to reach the community effectively, there needs to
be continuity in utilizing media with appropriate stories and news
b. Media Plan: Project needs to plan to report stories, articles, law and amendment about
child labour regularly in the news papers. A workshop involving key project members
and stakeholders should be organized to devise media strategy.
c. Focusing on Case Studies: To reach the community effectively the stories on “Child
Labours” and “Success Stories of Rehabilitated Children by the project” can be initiated
with the support of media. A weekly series could be commenced in the local news papers.
Plan to reach of project activities through the media to be reached to the state and national
level.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 90
d. Workshop for Media Personnel: Media personnel and Journalists needs to be considered
as one of the prime stakeholders in activities related to Environmental Building and
awareness generation.
7.2 Capacity Building Exercise
• The hand outs for the community members and stakeholders attending training
program should be provided so that it will enable carry the messages for a long period
and to convey their friends and family members
• The capacity building exercise for the various stake holders need to be conducted
periodically.
• Establishment of Community Trainers Pool: Project personnel can make a team
consisting representatives of youth groups, Anganwadi workers, panchayath
members etc in their respective villages and conduct a TOT program, so that this
group can be used as resource persons in the training and brings in sustainability to
the activity. At the same time programs can be reached to large population. Project
should also involve professionals and students belong to the field of health, education,
rural development etc. Involving the concerned subject experts shall make the training
programme lively and more informative.
• The training should also be provided to the stakeholders residing in surrounding
villages of village panchayath headquarters.
• The training program for SHG needs to have specific periodicity and continuity. The
success of project is majorly depends on how this group will become empowered and
sustainable even after the completion of project duration. These groups will take up
income generation activities only when they are convinced about the relevance and
motivated enough. The continuous capacity building program is the only way to
empower the groups to achieve the objective.

7.3 Running of Bridge schools and Mainstreaming
• DBC are nearing to end its period, teachers need to plan and record individual profile
of each child. The plan should specify about- Where the child will be placed in the
next three month time.
• If the child needs further bridge schooling he should be placed in RBC; along with the
child’s case report. This will help the RBC teachers to know the child’s psychology and
learning level.
• Each case study should be well documented and the process should be discussed with
the concerned NGO and then the file should be given to the NCLP for effective
documentation and maintenance of records.
• DBC teachers and the NGO’s should have a weekly plan of action on the regular visits
to the children who are mainstreamed. They should act like a bridge between the
children and the government school teachers until the children are settled and build a
good adjusted with the mainstream school environment.
• The implementing agencies, especially the organizations running RBCs are
recommended to be taken to other similar residential centers. This shall help the
organization to get the knowledge to improvise the centers.
• Residential bridge centre should work as a resource centre as mentioned in the APSO.
• One or two active teachers from each block should be selected and designated as
‘’Nodal person’’ to take care of post mainstreaming activities for three months after
the closure of DBC. Normally the probability of children not interested to go back to
the mainstream schools will be more due to their resistance to adopt for change. The
nodal officers can take up the responsibility of solving all these probable problems and
ensure the schooling of the children.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 92
Probable Limitation to appoint Nodal Persons: The one major limitation may be of
salary of the Nodal person. As per original plan of the project, the budget for 35 DBC
has been earmarked. Project has established around 28 DBCs. The unspent salary
amount in the DBCs budget can be utilized.
7.4 Networking and linkages
The project can be even more strengthened through networking and linkage. The
appreciable principal which project has adopted is rather than providing direct benefits
to the target group, it is necessary to empower them to get the benifts on their own or
through other available Government schemes. This shall bring the sustainability through
consumes more time. To achieve this objective project needs to establish string linkages
with the local civil society organizations and Government departments.
Process:
a. Establish link with local employers association in order to make their
establishment child labour free and increased opportunities for child labour family
members on priority. The support of District industries department can be
envisaged.
b. Religious institutions can be planned to involve in the project as their words are
strongly accepted by the people
c. Youth group should be majorly involved in the activities. The earmarked budget
under APSO on “prevention and withdrawal of child labour through awareness
raising and education” Output: 2.2 can be utilized.
d. Involvement of Local organization such as Rotary, Lions Club should be increased.
As these organizations periodically conduct Health Camps, Support Students from
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 93
poor families, Skills Training program etc, the benefits can be made available to the
child labour families.
7.5 Survey and Benchmarking – Involvement of Implementing Agencies
NGO’s needs to be provided with specific plan and list of expected quarterly output. The
monitoring should take place quite often so the new lessons are learnt and improve upon.
Process:
a. Project should organize Quarterly Review and Planning Meeting inviting heads of
implementing agencies, District Lead Agency and Block Coordinators
b. Implementing agency has to be provided with give specific activity plan and
expected outputs
c. The required budget to each implementing agencies as per the planned activities
should be released quickly.
d. Implementing agency has to do frequent monitoring and support supervision
visits.
7.6 Suggested Planning and Monitoring Strategy:
Level 1: Project Director along with Block Community Animators (BCAs) receiving
suggestions of District Lead Agency devise the activity plan for each quarter
Level 2: The Heads of implementing agencies to be called for Quarterly Review and
Planning Meeting at the district headquarter
Level 3: The Heads of the organizations and BCA shall organize the monthly planning
and review meeting as per the decisions of Quarterly Meeting. The quarterly plans and
outputs needs to be fragmented as monthly plans and assign the work to each
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 94
community animator. There needs to be scope for CAs to express their opinion and
creativity.
Level 4: Project Director shall have the fortnightly review meeting with all the BCAs
involving all the project office staff .
7.7 Documentation and Reporting:
Documentation and reporting is improved considerably compared to earlier NCLP
structure. The formats devised by the project gives enough scope for documentation. But
still lack of availability of statistical updates, project impacts, case studies of children and
family was observed. Project needs to concentrate about this factor. This is the right time
to initiate documentation of project impacts and stories of change. Project can also think
of bringing out “Video Documentary” on the activities taken so far. The documentary
should also focus of the strategies adopted and its impact so that it could be guideline for
other similar projects.
7.8 Income generation through skills and self employment promotion
• The organizations of SHG activities should be provided with more concentration.
Project should ensure the capacity building of all the groups in all the modules
suggested in “SHG Hand Book”. The periodicity of the training programs should be
strictly scheduled and implementation should be monitored
• As the targeted number of adolescents to be training is more. The activity should be
paced up. The local training institutions need to be involved in the program.
Mid Term Evaluation Report
IPEC-KCLP: Chamarajanagar 95
• The NCLPS should instruct the other implementing agencies to select and refer the
youths to the training program. Each organization should be assigned with specific
targets.
• Awareness related to the vocational skills to the parents and elder siblings should be
provided.
• Before providing vocational training for mothers group, the SHG should be
strengthened for at least Three to four months. During this period capacity of the
group needs to be enhanced as per of SHG manual provided by the project. Later on
introduction of vocational skills will make the groups to consider it seriously and take
up income generation activities in a group.
Considering the present achievement of activities under providing Skills Training for
Adolescents and community dynamics, the project need to think of revising timeline for the
completion of activities. Lack of awareness about utilities of vocational skills was strongly
observed in the community. The inclinations of beneficiaries are more towards short term
and instant benefits rather than long term and sustainable one. This is very common feature
of community. More time is necessary to orient the community and impart the training
program. The success of the program is depends on the utilization of provided skills by the
beneficiaries. Post training support also needs to be provided. All these activities requires
more time. Since budget is not utilized under this component, the additional financial
resource may not be necessary.

7.9 Upgrading local industries: This component of the project is entrusted to MYRADA. Project should also provide
complete information related to this activity to the respective Block Communiyt Animator
and other key project staff. Activities are needs to be paced up.
7.10 Community monitoring and strengthening Grass Roots Institutional Capacities
This activity is assigned to Holy Cross organization working in Kollegal Block. But the
project is directly implementing some of the activities related to this component. To have
proper accountability and to ensure absolute community participation project needs to have
structured community monitoring mechanism. This is would also enables the project
activities to be sustainable. Major concentration is required to be provided and activities
needs to be paced up as project already completed its first year.

8. LESSONS LEARNT
The Model of awarding the responsibility of Monitoring and Capacity Building activities
to the single agency is unique and found effective. Usually monitoring agencies highlights
the good and bad practices of the project and provide suggestions for improvements.
Onus of helping the project to fill the lacunae will not be on monitoring agency. If training
agency is different they plan and impart the program as they perceive the suggestion of
the monitoring agency. Since the training agency does not make field visits, the
understanding of field realities and needs will not be available. This model resolves all
those limitations.
The thrust given by the project towards enhancing the competency of partner agencies
and project staff is could be another important learning for other projects. The impact of
the capacity building activities can be observed in the activities of project staff. If capacity
building component was excluded it would have affected the efficiency of the activities
and caused more time delay as staff had to acquire the knowledge and skills on their own
by trial and error method.
Third Party Monitoring Mechanism is another model established by the project is worth
to be replicated and learnt. As project always cannot look back its achievements and
lacunae in the implementation the necessity of another agency is needed. This shall also
avoid a time delay in rectifying the mistakes done. The project staff will also work more
efficiently as they shall be knowing their performance is going to be evaluated by another
agency.
Labour Market Survey is another model provided lot of learning to the project. The
involvement of beneficiaries also as the respondents unlike other survey helped to
understand the needs of the people and their understanding about the vocational skills.

Though it is very early to comment about CLEC, the strategy envisaged to form the
committees at the grassroots level and make respective village panchayath responsible in
eradication of child labour is appreciable. Through this community involvement can be
made more effective.
Constitution and Involvement of SHG could bring in long term sustainability and women
were sensitized in child labour issue. This component shall also empower women in real
terms to avail their rights and involve in developmental endeavors of the village.
