Having commenced in 2013 “Child Friendly Guwahati” is a focused civil society campaign to create a city wide movement of citizenry for children, especially those belongings to the marginalized section of the society to ensure their basic Rights to Survival, Protection, Development and Participation. The project envisages making Guwahati a Child Friendly City.
CFG was initiated as a Pilot Project with 5 Centers in Guwahati city. After the success of the Pilot phase, 35 CFG Centers were set up in different locations which were put under 7 Clusters. In these centers, the never enrolled/drop out children were given bridge course through playful learning methods. After a period of 9-12 months of Motivational classes in the centers, these children were mainstreamed back in formal schools. 2019 onwards instead of providing motivational classes, CFG started mainstreaming the never enrolled/ drop out children directly into government schools. CFG centers now referred to community spaces, space inside school campus etc. Tuition classes were conducted in these centers.
