The fight for children in need of care and protection continues

In the face of constant crisis and uncertainty in the continuity of Child Line operations, effective work is being done for the welfare of children in need of care and protection in India at the national and state levels under the leadership of Child Line Directors.

A memorandum submission and a signature campaign addressed to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, National Women and Child Development Minister Mrs. Smriti Irani and other ruling-opposition leaders were conducted as part of this initiative. Under the leadership of the Kerala Child Line Forum, issues related to the Child Line and children in need of care and protection were brought to the attention of the Chief Minister and other Ministers.

Following this, Dr. Saji Elambaseril, Director of Kerala Child Line Forum, met Mrs. Veena George, State Minister for Women and Child Development, Mr. V. Sivan Kutty, Minister of Education and Mr. VD Satheesan, Leader of Opposition, to discuss the issues and submitted a petition.

Under the auspices of Child Line Forum and Child Line staff, several MLAs, MPs, and other prominent individuals of Kerala are participating in the signature campaign and the submission of memorandums.
