Valuing Children’s Perspectives and Participation
By Suchitra Rao
ILP joined forces with four other NGO’s to facilitate children’s involvement in providing suggestions for Karnataka state government's new act on child safety at schools. The suggestions included a zero tolerance policy against bullying and sexual abuse, placement of suggestion boxes for children to put forth proposals under anonymity, and involvement of senior students in Children Protection Committees. ILP is committed in generating awareness amongst children regarding their rights and responsibilities; they are not citizens of tomorrow but are very much the citizens of today and their issues should have an active representation in the agenda of all policymakers.

Introduction to ILP’s Metrics and Evaluation System
By Subhash Pochareddy
ILP drives a wide array of efforts to enable children’s education from preschool to high school and beyond. In an effort to quantify our efforts ILP has designed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that provide objective and real-time view of progress to us, and to our NGO partners. These KPIs help ILP to objectively evaluate the impact that we are making to improve the schooling, learning outcomes, and to provide career guidance and more.
