Concerned for Working Children (CWC): One of the first organizations to work exclusively on the issue of child rights, CWC runs a residential vocational training school at Namma Bhoomi, Kundapur in Udipi District. The children, ex-child laborers, were to be equipped with appropriate and viable vocational skills as well as formal education, which would help them to find appropriate vocation. The training period lasting for 18 months offered courses in weaving, carpentry. Tailoring, cane and bamboo craft amongst others.
