• It also provides a platform for professionals and organizations to provide any help to children in need.

• Its working framework

• It categorises any child under ‘Children in Street Situation’ if the child -

is living on the streets during the day

or living on the streets with the family.

• The root cause of this phenomenon is the migration of families from rural to urban areas in search of better living standards.
