The ‘Jyothi’ scheme was launched by the state of Kerala in May 2025 as a targeted initiative to integrate children of migrant workers into the state’s formal education system. The scheme focuses on enrolling children aged 3 to 6 in anganwadis and those aged 6 and above in public schools. It addresses the barriers of frequent relocation, lack of documentation, and social marginalization that typically prevent migrant children from accessing continuous education. The month-long outreach involves local self-governments, Kudumbashree workers, schoolteachers, and PTAs, and aligns with Kerala’s broader commitment to inclusive development, welfare, and education for all.
