Celebrating World Children’s Day with a groundbreaking dialogue!

20 November 2023, Ranchi: Our child reporters met Hon’ble CM Mr. Hemant Soren to champion children’s rights in Jharkhand. With a pledge to elevate education standards, the CM emphasized the holistic growth of our future leaders through sports and creative pursuits alongside studies.

In a landmark move, the CM announced the expansion of the Savitribai Phule Yojana, now extending its empowering benefits to all unmarried girl children in govt. schools. This policy, offering Rs. 40,000 in installments to girls from class 8th to 12th, reaffirms the commitment to education and aims to combat child marriage while boosting school enrollment.

Graced by key figures like the CM’s Principal Secretary Mrs. Vandana Dadel, Secretary Mr. Vinay Kr. Choube, UNICEF Jharkhand’s Head Dr. (Mrs.) Kaninika Mitra with officers from UNICEF-NBJK, this momentous gathering propels us towards a brighter, more inclusive future for over 6.5 lakh school girls, with numbers set to soar.

NBJK is honored to pave the way for transformative change alongside esteemed partners!
