A call for collective responsibility to protect children echoed at Yachuli on Friday as the Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (APSCPCR) organized a mass sensitization programme on child rights.
Held at the Community Hall of St. John Bosco School, the programme themed “Know Your Rights-Protect Every Child” was jointly organised with the Department of Women and Child Development, Keyi Panyor.
CDPO Taba Anu, in her welcome address, said child rights must move beyond awareness to become a moral responsibility of the community.
APSCPCR Members Niri Chongrowju and Taba Champa presided over the programme. In his keynote address, Chongrowju underscored the need to safeguard children’s overall well-being and outlined key legal provisions for child protection.
Dr. Borang, speaking as Guest of Honour, said children are not just the future but also the present, and deserve a safe and inclusive environment. Noting Keyi Panyor’s strong traditional values, she urged parents, teachers, law enforcement and community leaders to remain vigilant and convert awareness into grassroots action. She added that the district administration is committed to making Keyi Panyor a model for child safety and development.
Chief Guest Nabam Piju called for child-friendly homes, schools and public spaces and said child protection must become a mass movement.
The technical sessions covered critical legal and emerging issues. Legal Aid Counsel Nani Talley of DLSA Ziro explained the Juvenile Justice Act, POCSO Act and laws against child marriage and child labour. SI Padi Tado flagged rising online threats including cyberbullying, social media misuse and gaming addiction among children.
Legal Aid Counsel Subu Ampi dwelt on the RTE Act and school safety, while APSCPCR Member Taba Champa highlighted the often-overlooked aspects of children’s mental health, emotional distress and drug abuse, calling for early intervention and attentive parenting.
The programme ended with a vote of thanks by Principal St. John Bosco School Varghese Philip, who called for making child rights protection both an individual and collective duty. ‘Know Your Rights’ Campaign Reaches Yachuli; Arunachal Pradesh State Commission for Protection of Child Rights Calls for Community Action on Child Safety
