Children of migrant poor in Kolkata [1]

Recognizing the need for further research within the broader domain of internal migration in India and especially on the condition of migrant children in Kolkata, in 2013, the Institute of Social Sciences, Kolkata collaborated with the UNICEF Office for West Bengal to jointly complete the proposed project called "Children of Migrant Poor in Kolkata: A Study on Human Development Perspectives." Apart from generating knowledge, this study has been completed with the aim of initiating a policy dialogue within the Government of West Bengal and amongst civil society regarding the concerns of urban migrant children in Kolkata and their access to basic health, education and protection of related services.
