Detailed description

On National Child Labour Day, the Sansthan organised an awareness programme under the National Child Labour Project, District Barabanki. Students and teachers marched through areas of Siddhaur Block with placards and slogans — “Stop Child Labour”, “Let Children Learn, Grow and Build Their Future”, “Educate Every Girl Child, Empower the Nation”. Pamphlets asked residents not to employ children and to support their education. The President of the organisation addressed the community, reminding parents and employers that child labour is prohibited by law and that a child’s proper work is to study. Teachers including Lakhpati Devi, Neelima Devi, Neha, and Mansi, together with hundreds of students, took part. The appeal at the end was collective: a child-friendly, child-labour-free society is a duty of the whole neighbourhood, not of a school alone.
