CfD started Child Help Desk at Kalupur Railways Station in Ahmedabad City in collaboration with Childline India Foundation in 2016. This project is a joint venture of Ministry of Women and Child Development and Ministry of Railways. A total of 234 children(183 boys, 1 transgender, and 50 girls) have been rescued by the Childline team. 195 children have been rehabilitated with their families across India.

Besides the rescue and rehabilitation activity, the Childline team of CFD regularly carries out activities for sensitization of common people on child rights and child protection on the railway platforms. We organize campaigns for sensitization of people at the station about potential risks faced by children within their families, their surroundings, and possibilities of their abuse and violation with them. A club of 32 rescued children is formed, where the team imparts knowledge of life skills with other recreational activities in a space provided by the office of Divisional Railway Manager, Ahmedabad.
