With salary not paid to teachers at 15 Special Training Centres (STCs) under the National Child Labour Project (NCLP) in the district since March 2020, many of them have turned daily wagers. The rescued child workers in the district are enrolled in these STCs run by various non-Governmental organisations (NGOs) in the district. These centres function under the Child Labour Division of the Ministry of Labour and Employment. While the Ministry pays a monthly salary of ₹ 7,000 to a teacher, the State government pays them ₹ 500. Record keepers and helpers are paid ₹ 3,500 a month. The children get a monthly stipend of ₹400 to encourage them continue their studies.More Related News
