Raipur : Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai launched the Sarthak and Rakshak Abhiyan to create awareness about child rights on the occasion of the 15th foundation day celebration of Chhattisgarh State Child Rights Protection Commission. Addressing the program organized at Pandit Deendayal Auditorium in the capital Raipur on this occasion, he said that the State Child Rights Protection Commission has an important role in raising awareness about child rights in the remote areas of the state. He said that new campaigns like Sarthak and Rakshak will prove effective in creating awareness about children's rights in the public.

While addressing the program, Chief Minister Shri Sai said that a strong society can be built only through education. In the remote areas of Chhattisgarh state, especially in Bastar and Surguja divisions, children go to other cities at an early age in search of work, but due to lack of information, they often become victims of exploitation. It is the responsibility of the Commission to identify such children and link them to employment and provide them benefits from government schemes. He said that our government is running many schemes focused on children and youth. Our government is providing school, college, coaching facilities in every village. Along with this, maximum facilities are being provided to the students through works like Prayas in the field of education, Nalanda campus and Tribal Youth Hostel in Delhi.

Mrs. Varnika Sharma, Chairperson of Chhattisgarh State Child Rights Protection Commission, gave detailed information about the works of the Commission. It is worth noting that the Saarthak Abhiyan is being run to bring awareness about child rights and Rakshak Abhiyan is being run to provide special information about child rights protection laws in universities. In the foundation day ceremony of the commission, police personnel, Anganwadi workers and girl students who did excellent work for the awareness of child rights were honored. Along with this, the new guide booklet, protector booklet and cartoon books based on good touch, bad touch safe touch, human trafficking and right to education of Chhattisgarh State Child Rights Protection Commission were also released.

On this occasion, MLAs Mr. Sunil Soni, Mr. Purandar Mishra, Mr. Guru Khuswant Saheb, Civil Supplies Corporation Chairman Mr. Sanjay Srivastava, Waqf Board Chairman Dr. Salim Raj, along with many public representatives and organizations and social workers associated with the commission were present in large numbers.
