Portal PENCIL

• PENCIL (Platform for Effective Enforcement for No Child Labour) is an electronic platform for no child labour developed by the Labour Ministry.
• The portal creates a robust implementing and monitoring mechanism for enforcement of the legislative provisions of National Child Labour Policy (NCLP).
• Since the subject of labour is in the concurrent list, the enforcement of the policy depends on respective state governments.
• This online portal aims to connect the Centre to the state government, district and to all project societies for effective implementation of NCLP.
• The portal has a component of child tracking system.
