The entire project is required to be implemented through a registered society under the Chairmanship of the administrative head of the district namely, District Magistrate/Collector/Asst. Commissioner of the district. Members of the society may be drawn from concerned Government Departments, representatives of Panchayati Raj Institutions, NGOs, Trade Unions, etc.

It is necessary to involve suitable voluntary organizations in the implementation of the project, especially in the running of the special schools. However, the project society can itself directly execute some of the programme activities. The project society would draw up its own criteria regarding the eligibility of NGOs for associating them in the project activities.

The rehabilitation of child labour calls for a lot of voluntarism and a high level of motivation on the part of those implementing the scheme. Therefore, the running of special schools should be entrusted to good, reliable and reputed non-governmental organizations, including Panchayati Raj institutions and Trade Unions. Experiment of running special schools through small implementing agencies like Yuvak Sangh, Women’s Group, Village Club, Youth Club etc. have been found to be successful. Implementing Agencies, with adequate checks and balances, should be encouraged by the project societies to take up running of the special schools. In case adequate numbers of good NGOs or implementing agencies are not available, the centres could be run by the Project Society only as a temporary measure. However, running of these special schools should be progressively passed on to NGOs and other implementing agencies.
