Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today inaugurated the two-day training programme of police and other stakeholders on ‘Strengthening of Child Protection Systems’.

In his address, Sinha said the endeavour of the Government of India and the UT administration on the theme ‘Leave No Child Behind’ is a reflection of our commitment to develop a sensitive, supportive ecosystem for young generation.

“Every child deserves a caring home. We are strengthening the mechanism of adoption to secure a happy childhood for each and every child in J&K,” the Lt Governor said.

He said under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the administration is working with full sensitivity to connect children in need with institutional and non-institutional systems and empower them to contribute to nation building.

Children in institutional care are being provided support to facilitate their re-integration into mainstream after attaining 18 years of age,” he added.

Sinha asked police and security forces to take preemptive measures to ensure that no innocent child falls victim to adversary’s nefarious design.
“Those elements responsible for terrorism in J&K are making malicious attempts to lure young boys and girls into unlawful activities. Our police and security forces must remain vigilant. ‘Don’t Touch the Innocent and Don’t Spare the Culprit’ is our policy, he said.
He also highlighted the important role of stakeholders, volunteers and youth clubs in rehabilitation of the children in conflict with law.
