Housing is also provided for the labor of rescued children, migrant children from poor landless families, unprotected children of adults separated from their families, internally displaced and children from conflict zones, armed and social forces, and natural disasters.

In this context, backward educational blocs (EBB), left extremist districts (LWE), special districts (SFD), and ambitious districts identified by NITI Ayog are preferred.

The central government had previously decided to celebrate the birthday of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on January 23, under the name “Parakram Diwas”.
