Through the Institute of Juvenile Justice, Prayas attempts to create a national resource centre where these issues of critical concerns area discussed and debated and the grass roots level experiences are consolidated documented and dissemination. The Institute has a shelter home for girls, and different units such as Training, Research and Documentation, IEC (Information, Education and Communication) and Resource Management.

Training: The basic objective of the training unit is to sensitize various groups of people on issues related to child rights and needs, juvenile justice etc. It organizes workshops, seminars and develop materials (both written and visual) to impart training, inter alia, to NGOs, Police, educators, bureaucrats and other social groups.

Information, Education and Communication (IEC): IEC, the advocacy unit of Prayas works with the multi pronged strategy for sensitizing the society on the issue of neglected street and working children by involving partners with the true spirit of care, protection and development of these children. Using effective communication tools like posters, pamphlets, puppet shows, street theatre, folk dance, TV spots, film etc., it tries to reach across sections of the society, whose little help could bring big changes in the lives of millions of children.

• Kalasrishti Prayas: A unit of advocacy through performing arts by the children, for the children and of the children. Regularly, they perform on pavements, with school children, on the occasion of Anti-Child Labour Day and in many other public arenas.

• Parivartan: Parivartan, the bi-lingual newsletter of prayas, is the vehicle of ideas and activities of Prayas. The newsletter contains articles on children's issues, poems and paintings by street and working children, interviews of child right activists etc.

• prayaschildren.org: it is this website of prayas which was launched by none other than the Union Finance Minister Mr. Yashwant Sinha.

• TV spot: Making the appeal to the majority of our society to protect the underprivileged children, Prayas produced a TV spot, which is being aired in prominent channels.

Resource Management: The resource management unit raises resources and consolidates the corpus fund by organising fund raising events, through the sale of greeting cards and vocational products and by obtaining sponsorship for the children. It plays a vital role in helping Prayas achieve self sustainability.

Prayas is also able to generate funds through the sponsorship programme, which has been very effectively managed by the resource unit. There are nearly 150 children being presently sponsored by various individuals in the organisation. Majority of these children have been sponsored initially for a period of one year. Some of them have been sponsored for two to three years. Most of these children have been sponsored for the purpose of giving them education. The sponsorship programme is being expanded to include more and more children
