Awareness for the
public in the vicinity of the Market and in the surroundings of the
bus station was conducted by Mobile health education team. Public
were explained about the issues of children such as child labour,
school drop outs, begging children, child abuse, missing children,
and run-away children. Hand-outs with information on CHILDLINE
(1098) and child related issues were distributed to the public. A
group of students from government high School and youth received the
awareness with great enthusiasm. A positive response was given by
the public who assured that they would call the child helpline if
any children were at risk. After counseling the parent and the
children on child labour, the mother was advised to refrain from
using the children to earn a living to meet the school expenses.
Around hundred people received awareness.
