The World Day Against Child Labour draws attention to the problem of child labour and to find ways to eradicate it. The day is important as it spreads awareness on the harmful mental and physical problems faced by children forced into child labour the world over.

World Environment day

Our children from the mohalla classes, community and public representatives were made aware of the environment; children expressed their views on the importance of environment through posters and were also taken on an exposure trip of the block. Children along with BDO Ashwani Kumar Sonkar, Block Head Amit Kumar Singh and Forest Regional Officer Anil Kumar in Lalganj Block planted Harishankari trees.

The BDO interacted with the children on the importance of environment. Children told that we get air, wood, fruits, flowers, honey etc. from trees. Children gave their school problems in writing. The children were very happy after interacting with the BDO. He also promised to solve the problem of the school. Along with this, the children and other members also planted saplings while interacting in the community.
