IF everything goes to plan, you won't see any children of migrant workers wandering the streets or engaged in work in the state from the new academic year.

This follows the launch of a comprehensive initiative by the state government on Wednesday to bring the children of migrant workers here to the schools to support their progress and welfare.

The programme 'Jyoti', which will be implemented by the local bodies along with the schools in the respective regions, will see an aggressive door-to-door campaign by the officials to ensure that no children of school-going age wander in the streets of the state, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
