To rehabilitate street and runaway children, a project called "Makkala
Ashraya" (children home) was launched and a Transit crisis shelter was opened in
Gandhinagar during January 1999. The Transit Crisis shelter is run round - the - clock
with the help of volunteers. Efforts are made to trace the parents of such children and
restore them to their parents and where parents cannot be traced they are provided with
vocational training by placing them 'with NGO's working for such children.
