Monday, Nov. 5 The Children's Rights Parliament 2025 District Level Children's Consultation Meeting was held at the Patrika Bhawan here under the joint auspices of UNICEF, Karnataka Child Rights Monitoring Center and Nawau Foundation.
The program was inaugurated by B.E.O. Krishnappa. Speaking later, he said that discussions are being held at the international level regarding children's rights in recent days and it is a global problem. Children all over the world lack awareness of their rights and child exploitation is happening daily. It starts from home first, and in this regard, rights awareness programs are being conducted everywhere, he said.
In many places, students are being exploited by pushing them into vices like drugs. The society, including parents and teachers, needs to take more care of children. Education is the fundamental right of every child today.
They should not get education for employment, but for their knowledge. With the aim of ensuring that the common man is not deprived of education, the government is providing free education along with milk, nutritious food, medicines and many other facilities through government schools, which everyone should utilize.
K.C.R.O. District Coordinator and Executive Director of Nawa Foundation, Suman Mathew, gave the introductory speech and said that all countries of the world are committed to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The survival, protection, development and participation of children should be respected and implemented by the government, society and all adults. A child acquires its rights while in the womb of its mother.
If there is a violation of child rights, a complaint should be filed with the District Child Welfare Committee and the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, which is formed to protect child rights.
32 students and teachers from 16 schools participated in the district-level workshop. On this occasion, K., a student of Hundley Government High School, participated in the student parliament program held in Bengaluru. Srishti and Pranay, a student of Shirangala Government High School, were selected by students from other schools.
On the stage were Sanjeev Kumar, Assistant Professor of H.D. Deve Gowda College, Padavalahippe, Gautam Kiragandur, Founder of Nawa Foundation, Retired Teacher Tilottame Nandakumar, and Vijayalakshim Suresh, President of Mahila Sahakari Samaj.
