Chief Minister Vishnu Dev Sai launched a meaningful and protector campaign to bring awareness about child rights on the occasion of the 15th Foundation Day celebrations of Chhattisgarh State Child Rights Protection Commission. Addressing the program organized at Pandit Deendayal Auditorium in the capital Raipur, he said that the State Child Rights Protection Commission has an important role in raising awareness about child rights in remote areas of the state. He said that new campaigns like meaningful and protector will prove to be effective in making children aware of the rights of children in the public.
Chief Minister Shri Sai while addressing the program said that a strong society can be built only through education. In the remote regions of Chhattisgarh state, especially in Bastar and Surguja divisions, children go towards other cities in search of work at an early age, but due to lack of information, they become exploited many times. It is the responsibility of the Commission that such children should be identified and connecting them with employment and providing benefits from the schemes of the government. He said that our government is running several schemes focused on children and youth. Our government is providing schools, colleges, coaching facilities from village to village. Along with this, more and more facilities are being provided to the students through works like efforts in education, Nalanda campus and Tribal Youth Hostel in Delhi.
Chairman of Chhattisgarh State Child Rights Protection Commission, Mrs. Varnika Sharma gave detailed information about the works of the Commission. It is worth noting that meaningful campaign is being conducted to bring awareness about child rights and to provide special information about child rights protection laws in Guard Campaign Universities. Police personnel, Anganwadi workers and girl students who have done better work for awareness of child rights were honored in the foundation day of the Commission. Along with this, cartoon books based on the Right to Education were also released on Chhattisgarh State Child Rights Protection Commission’s new guide booklet, guard booklet and good touch, human trafficking, and right to education.
