Raj Sadosh / Abohar.
On the first day of ‘Child Rights Week,’ the Department of Child Empowerment launched a public awareness campaign at Sriganganagar railway station premises, aimed at preventing child labor, child begging, and gender-based violence.
Rajiv Jakhar, Assistant Director of the Department, appealed to the public, stating that only a sensitive and aware society can ensure a safe childhood and a bright future for children. He urged everyone to pledge that no child’s childhood should be spent in child labor; instead, children should grow up with access to education, safety, and opportunities, enabling them to realize their dreams and contribute significantly to the development of the nation and society.
As part of the week-long initiative, a workshop for stakeholders will be held on November 16, covering topics such as child labor, substance abuse among children, child marriage, gender-based violence against children, and the empowerment of adolescent girls. Additionally, on November 20—the concluding day of Child Rights Week—an ‘open house’ event will be organized at Dunes Genius Secondary School to raise awareness about children’s rights.
Present at the launch of the awareness campaign at the railway station were Inspector Raj Kumar and Sub-Inspector Rajesh Kumar of the Railway Protection Force (RPF); Child Helpline Coordinator Trilok Verma; team members Ayush Middha and Pankaj; and Ravi Bhati from the Rajasthan Mahila Kalyan Mandal, among others.
