The pandemic had a very bad impact on everyone on each and every country on this earth but the worst impacted were the poor children who migrated from their villages to the towns with hope of a brighter future. The pandemic had impacted these poor kids in many ways and not just financially. The paper will also throw light upon certain provisions like constitutional provisions, national legislations and international laws which were introduced by our country in order to eradicate the exploitation of migrant child labour. further, it will also discuss about, how the situation and the failure of the system is leading to violation of rights of such children. At last, there will be general ways through which government as well as the citizens to contribute to help such migrant children during the adverse phase of the pandemic.
