- CENTRE FOR DEVELOPMENT (CFD)
Centre for Development (CfD) was established in 1996, to address the issue of child labour in the poorer areas of Ahmedabad city. Sustained efforts of CfD got these children back to school. This process deepened our understanding that there were no easy solutions to child labour; it is intricately linked to urban poverty, displacement and violence. For years, the poor in Gujarat have been reeling under the impact of recurring communal violence, unemployment and impoverishment, and the continuous eviction and displacement of slum dwellers in urban areas.
