Elimination of Child Labour to migrant families entered into a contract under family package deal, hence along with parents, children also worked. Girl child labour was found more in ginning units. Beedi industry was one of the oldest agro-based industries where most of the work took placed manually by women in their houses. Children, mostly girls, helped their mothers in rolling beedis, and some children attended schools. Majority of the girl children from poor families worked as daily wage labourers. Child labour who worked in semi-skilled jobs in auto workshops got Rs.100 to Rs.150 per day and a daily batta (allowance) of Rs.10 to Rs.20, whereas those who worked as helpers to skilled labour got Rs.25 per day. Girls who worked in ginning were paid Rs.25 per day, and boys who were in pressing units were paid Rs.30 per day. Children who worked in the leather industry were paid Rs.10 per day for 7 hours work, and child labour who worked for 14 hours a day were paid Rs.20 per day. Children who worked in the beedi industry earned Rs.10–15 for 12 hours of work. With regard to employers’ perceptions, except the employers of leather industry, employers in the other industries did not show much interest to eliminate child labour. According to parents the main reason for sending their children to work was poverty because most families belonged to low income group. Majority of the child labourers were satisfied with their work, and some were also enthusiastic to learn more skills as they got more money at a very young age. Hence, while planning for elimination of child labour, it is advisable to adopt ‘realistic strategies’ instead of going by ‘optimistic strategies’, that is forcefully throwing child labour into schools, designing flexible employment hours, and facilitating them with a recommended combination of work with education, not just ‘learning literacy’, but also provide ‘functional literacy’ with skills development.

Key Words : 1.CHILD LABOUR 2.CONVERGENCE OF SERVICES 3.ELIMINATION OF CHILD LABOUR. Abstract : This study was a joint effort of V.V.Giri National Labour Institute and UNICEF. The main objective was to examine the convergence of different development programmes to eliminate child labour. It also aimed to establish linkages between economic variables and concomitant changes in the organisation of society, particularly with regard to class structure, education and the role of Government in assuring basic social and economic security. A sample of 114 districts from 12 states and 25 development programmes were selected. The states were Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, U.P. and West Bengal. The various development schemes selected were National Literacy Mission (NLM), Indira Awaas Yojana 33 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009
Elimination of Child Labour (IAY), National Child Labour Projects (NCLP), Mid-Day Meal Scheme (MDMS), Jawahar Rozgar Yojana (JRY), etc. These schemes aimed at rural development, poverty alleviation and employment, education, health and sanitation, and women and child development. The analysis was based on correlation, regression and factor analysis technique. According to Census of India 1991, the total population of sample districts was nearly 30.3 million and out of these the total child population aged 5-14 years was estimated to be 5.81 million. In the sample districts, the average incidence of child labour was estimated to be 8.04%; and nearly 4.5% of the total workforce comprised children aged 5-14 years. Regression results showed that out of 22 variables, only 2 variables were affecting child labour namely, total number of programmes in the district, and the workers to population ratio. It was found that instead of focussing on overall literacy drives, programmes which emphasized female literacy would help to eliminate the problem of child labour. The correlation results suggest that an increased per capita credit available to the community in general, would help in the reduction of child labour. Child labour endemic districts had a relatively low index of development, and there was a strong presence of development programmes in these particular areas, so there is a possibility of convergence of services in the selected districts. Increased diversification of economic activities would also go a long way in combating the problem of child labour. Zutshi, Bupinder et al. (2002).

Information and data was collected from secondary sources viz, Labour Ministry, National Council of Educational <strong>Research</strong> & Training (NCERT) and other national and international voluntary organisations and NGOs associated with rehabilitation of child labour in general and carpet weaving in particular. Data was also collected from several NGOs partners. The secondary data collected from NGOs and voluntary organisations was analysed to identify the schools providing NFE programme to the child labour released and rescued from the carpet industry. The field survey covered 18 NGOs, 58 NFE schools, 311 children, 73 teachers/technical staff and 171 parents. The respondents surveyed represented males and females as well as all social groups including SC/ST/other backward castes and higher castes. Results revealed that the magnitude of child labour in India is under-estimated due 34 <strong>Research</strong> <strong>Abstracts</strong> on Child Labour, Labour and Women Labour 1998 - 2009
