Abstract
The aim of this study is to find out and present a model of providing education to the migrant working children coming from the villages to the cities of India in search of better livelihoods. It also tries to understand why this migration is taking place from rural areas to urban areas in India. The paper considers three educational interventions among the children of such migrant workers in three areas of India: 1. West Bengal: the brickfield workers; 2. Odisha: the traditional fisher-people; 3. Gujarat: the salt pan / factory workers The study takes a two way approach to find out how the migrating children can receive education despite their unusual lifecycle of spending twelve months per year in at least two destinations: places where they migrate and the place of their origin; and the inputs that are introduced by the interventions and the outputs that are achieved - a comparison of inputs (efforts) vis-a-vis outputs (results).
