Assam became the first state in the country
to observe Child Protection Day with
about 1400 children participating in the central function in Guwahati.
The day was observed across the state and a
central function was organised here under the aegis of Assam State Commission
for Protection of Child Rights (ASCPCR) in collaboration with the UNICEF. The highlight of the function was the
colourful dances and skits performed by schoolchildren to highlight issues like
quality education, importance of protection of children, child trafficking and
child marriage.
The function was attended among others by
Justice Indira Shah of the Gauhati High Court, Assam minister for Social
Welfare and Jails Akon Bora and chief of UNICEF Assam Dr Tushar Manohar Rane.
