Monitoring & Evaluation

Regular monitoring at the Central, State and district level is important for the effective implementation of the project. At the national level, a Central Monitoring Committee has been set up under the Chairmanship of Union Labour Secretary for overall supervision, monitoring and evaluation of various child labour projects. At the District Level, the Chairperson should review the functioning of the project continuously. The functioning of the child labour projects is to be monitored and reviewed at the State level by the State Department of Labour (or any other designated Department). In addition, the State Governments are expected to oversee the enforcement of protective legal provisions and act as a focal point for child labour issues in the State and be instrumental in the coordination of the developmental programmes for the benefit of the child labour which is an essential part of the National Child Labour Policy. Apart from regular monitoring of the projects, periodical evaluations are required to be undertaken to take mid-course corrective measure and also to assess the overall efficacy of the projects.
