INDIAN CENTRE FOR INTEGARTED DEVELOPMENT (ICID) Inspiring, Enabling, Empowering Young People and children
Dear friends,
Every child has a right to a childhood that involves love, care, health, education, protection and
opportunities to allow them to grow into their full stature as human beings. In India, the
constitution, the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, the Right of Children to
Free and Compulsory Education Act or Right to Education Act (RTE) 2009, the Protection of Children
from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO Act) 2012, the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation)
Amendment Act, 2016 and a number of instruments provide safeguards to the youngest citizens and
provide them with opportunities to grow into healthy and responsible adults. But unfortunately,
millions of children lose their childhood due to poverty, malnutrition, poor health, child labour,
inaccessible education and exploitation.
ICID is committed to the protection and integral development of these children in difficult situations,
in line with its vision and mission. The foremost task of the organization is to protect the children
from exploitative situations and promote their basic rights in relation to child survival, protection,
development and participation that are enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of Children 1989.
It commits itself to nurture healthy development of children and young people who do not have
adequate care and protection. It also works to build the skills and resilience of the children in
challenging situations by giving them access to equitable education, health care and other support
services. In order to strengthen these efforts, ICID has also initiated a number of women
empowerment programs because women, as mothers, play an integral role in the protection and
development of children.
I am very happy to inform that during this year, the organization reached out to over 13,000 people
including children, youth, women and other disadvantaged communities through various programs
such as Yuvajyothi, CHILDLINE, Manini 2, Nirmaljyothi, Deepshikha, Yuva Sampad, Life skill
education, Summer camps, Bal mela, Medical camps, Educational sponsorships and others.
ICID acknowledges with gratitude the support of all the project partners, donors, volunteers and well
wishers. The dedicated and persistent effort of the team is commendable. The animated
participation of the beneficiaries in the various programs has led to their overall success.

1. Bhavesh (name changed), aged 12 years, hailed from the Balaghat District. The economic
condition of his family was poor. His parents earned their livelihood from daily wage. But
they were finding it difficult to meet their daily basic needs. Due to poverty and lack of
interest in schooling, the child dropped out of school. His parents requested their neighbour,
also a daily worker in Nagpur city, to take the boy along with him to Nagpur. The boy was
brought and was employed in a restaurant. He worked for 10 hours a day but received
insufficient food and care. The child was rescued from the restaurant with the assistance of
the crime branch and labour department. The boy was placed in a Government children’s
home with the order of the Child Welfare Committee (CWC). FIR was filed against the owner
of the restaurant in the local police station. The parents of the child were produced before
the CWC who gave an undertaking that the child would not be sent for work and that proper
care would be taken. The child was handed over to the parents by the CWC.
2. The information about a child marriage was received by the CHILDLINE team during the
outreach. It was informed that a young girl, aged 14, fell in love with a 21 year old man, left
her maternal house and began living with him in his house. She was unwilling to return to
her maternal family. The man’s family was in a hurry to get them married and succeeded. A
CHILDLINE volunteer informed CHILDLINE as well as the local police. The man was arrested
and a FIR was filed against him in the local police station. The girl continued living in the
same house of the man. The CL team in collaboration with the District Child Protection Unit
rescued the girl and placed her in a rehabilitation home. Later, she was produced before
Child Welfare Committee. She was handed over to her parents after they submitted a bond
that the child will be kept away from the man until she attains 18 years of age. The CL team
counselled the girl for her education and better future. Her parents sent her to her older
sister’s house in another district for education.

lacking motivation to pursue his studies, he dropped out of the school. The ICID team,
through regular community visits, motivated him to rejoin the school. The school
administration and the teachers were sensitized. He was readmitted to school and was
supported with educational material and regular motivation. Mangal cleared the class X
board exams in the first attempt and now wants to continue further studies.

fathers’ earnings from collection and sale of waste material. Unfortunately, her father
passed away due to cancer. The family was reeling under heavy burden of debt borrowed
for the treatment of her father. The ICID team motivated Nilofer to join tailoring classes in
the Nirmaljyothi Centre. After completion of the course, she was supported with a tailoring
machine from the Seed Fund of the organization. The ICID team assisted her in getting a job
at a nearby boutique where she is being paid INR4500/- a month. She earns another INR
3000/- a month by working from home with individual orders. She has repaid substantial
