Gonda: Students of the Upper Primary School in Belwa Nohar, Parsapur, took out an awareness rally under the sixth phase of the Mission Shakti special campaign, highlighting women’s safety, dignity and self-reliance, as well as child rights.
The rally aimed to raise awareness about child rights, the Child Helpline and the Women’s Helpline. Students carried messages and raised slogans such as “Child Rights Are Everyone’s Rights”, “Save Childhood, Save the Nation”, “Educate Women to Eradicate Problems” and “Women Are the Symbol of Power and the Pride of India”.
Manoj Kumar Chaturvedi, the school’s nodal teacher, said the dream of a developed India could be realised only when women were empowered. He emphasised that women’s empowerment and socio-economic development must progress together, as development alone cannot eliminate gender inequalities.
He also highlighted key initiatives and support mechanisms aimed at women’s empowerment, including the Sambal and Samarth schemes under Mission Shakti, helpline services, One Stop Centres, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Nari Adalat and initiatives promoting economic independence through self-help groups.
The campaign seeks to familiarise children with their rights and encourage greater awareness of women’s safety, equality and empowerment. Teacher Akhilesh Kumar was also present on the occasion.
