The sessions were held at govt girls' high schools in Budaguda and K Nuagaon, and at a higher secondary school in Kuduteli. The campaign, launched last Friday, is being organised in collaboration with the Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) welfare department and the school and mass education department, with support from a local NGO. "This will continue for another three to four days," said Ramendra Prasad, sub-divisional police officer (SDPO), Baliguda. He added that the drive aims to reach 10,000 students. During the sessions, students are being informed that any physical relationship with children under 18 is illegal, that eloping in the name of love is treated as kidnapping if parents complain, and that child marriage, child labour , and cybercrimes against children are punishable. The SDPO, along with local police, school teachers, and activists, is personally engaging with students to explain the law's provisions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Jeweled Rice Recipe Is as Beautiful as It Is Delicious Learn More Undo Artists from Baliguda have also been roped in to perform street plays on these topics.
