With increasing urbanisation in Lucknow there has been a phenomenal rise in the number of street children below the age of 15. These street children are in dire need of care and protection. The project has been sanctioned by the Ministry  of social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, with the objective of bringing these street children to normal life and make them part of them mainstream of development.

Recognising the fact that these children do not have access to formal education and are a source of cheap child labour due to poverty, NPSS has started to provide informal education and vocational training in various trades and also like them with the market so that they could continue earning regular income in the long run. Besides education, NPSS also provides supplementary nutrition, regular health check ups and counselling to these children.

This programme is being run at slums of Rajni Khand, Balmiki Ashram and Baraulia of Lucknow city and caters to 150 street children.
