Bhubaneswar: The state-level child protection welfare monitoring and review committee met Thursday at Lok Seva Bhawan, chaired by Chief Secretary Manoj Ahuja. Officials from various departments discussed plans to set up Child Help Centres at railway stations and bus stands across the state. Ahuja emphasised child protection and care through collective efforts of all departments, including Women and Child Development (WCD), School and Mass Education, Higher Education, Health and Family Welfare, Panchayati Raj and Drinking Water, Home, Skill Development and Technical Education. He also directed district-level monitoring to be made more active.

Participants in the meeting discussed in detail the ongoing schemes, government mechanisms, and contributions of NGOs and institutions working in the field of child protection. Special emphasis was laid on the effective implementation of ‘Mission Vatsalya’ in the state. On the occasion, WCD director Monisha Banerjee made a comprehensive presentation on various institutional and non-institutional arrangements for child protection in the state. Key national and state-level bodies such as the Mission Vatsalya Approval Board, Mission Vatsalya Central Project Monitoring Unit, State Child Protection Society, State Adoption Resource Agency (SARA), and the three-tier Child Welfare and Protection Committees at state, district, and gram panchayat levels are actively functioning in the state.
