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.
