Let us provide children with a nurturing environment, says judge at book launch on child protection laws in Ballari
'Merely enacting laws for child protection is not enough; we must also ensure a conducive environment for their overall development,' said K.G. Shanthi, Principal District and Sessions Judge and chairperson of the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), on Saturday. She was speaking after releasing the book Laws for the Protection of Children at a programme, jointly organised by the DLSA, READS organisation, the School Education and Literacy, and the Forest Departments in Ballari. 'Children are akin to divine beings. We must provide a safe and nurturing environment in houses, schools, and neighbourhoods to help them thrive. It is unfortunate that issues such as child labour, begging, human trafficking, child marriage, and sexual abuse continue to persist in our society. Poverty and a lack of education are the main reasons for this,' she said. Ms. Shanti stressed that the role of NGOs was crucial in child protection. The newly launched book, published in collaboration with READS and various departments, would be made available in schools and libraries. 'Children must be made aware of child marriage and POCSO Act through daily school assemblies. They must take a pledge against child marriage,' she said. Highlighting the importance of environmental responsibility, she added: 'Under the campaign One Tree for Every Child, One Forest for Every School, each school should plant trees and children should be made caretakers of those trees. Just as laws are essential for children's rights, trees are essential for a healthy environment.' She also paid tribute to fallen soldiers on the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas. Deputy Commissioner Prashanth Kumar Mishra, who presided over the event, said greater emphasis was needed on educational development in Kalyana Karnataka. 'Awareness of laws protecting children must spread. Let us all join hands to eliminate child marriage in the district,' he said. READS executive director C. Tippeshappa delivered the introductory remarks. Former member of the Karnataka State Commission for Protection of Child Rights H.C. Raghavendra introduced the book, while Janardhan, professor, Department of Development Studies, Kannada University, Hampi, conducted a workshop. As part of the One Tree for Every Child campaign, dignitaries planted saplings on the court premises before the formal event. The programme was attended by DLSA member secretary and senior civil judge Rajesh N. Hosamane, Assistant Conservator of Forests (Ballari division) Toshan Kumar, various district judges, officers from Education, Labour and Police Departments, DCPO and Childline staff, anganwadi supervisors, para-legal volunteers and heads of NGOs.

State prospered in BRS rule, as FM told Lok Sabha: Harish Rao
HYDERABAD The reiteration of Union Finance Minister Niramala Sitharaman in Lok Sabha on Monday that Telangana has made a commendable progress during the 2013-14 and 2023-24 with the State's per capita income registering a 84.3% growth and being among the top three States with highest per capita income. Senior leader of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) T. Harish Rao said in a statement on Tuesday that it was because of the vision of then Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and the commitment of BRS for Telangana's development. The State's achievement was a clear indicator of the improvement in the living standards of people and their purchasing power. He explained that the KCR government had introduced several development and welfare programmes during that period and also taken up many new initiatives such as Mission Bhagiratha, Mission Kakatiya, Rythu Bandhu, Rythu Bima, irrigation potential, IT and industrial policies, rural and urban development, employment generation and others, which brought economic stability in the State. However, the Congress which took over the State's reins in December 2023 was pushing Telangana backwards as its government was not implementing any scheme without cuts. The government has not paid the salaries of Homeguards so far this month and it was happening though the Chief Minister was holding the Home portfolio, Mr. Harish Rao said.
