Missing Children’s Day observed
Students of Eklavya School here observed the International Missing Children’s Day. Over the past six years, the International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC) has brought together more than 20 nations from around the world to commemorate the International Missing Children’s Day. Hindi educator Anamika Nirmohi shared information about the day with the students. She said a number of children go missing daily around the world, which is a cause for concern. “While the majority of the children, who are reported missing, return on their own after a short period of time, the longer a child is missing, the more vulnerable he or she becomes. The ICMEC is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation, working to make the world a safer place for all children by eradicating child abduction, sexual abuse and exploitation. The students were told that they should be aware of the issues that put the children of their age at risk and were also told the ways to keep themselves safe. School’s chairman JK Gupta said every person has a role to play in the protection of children.
