Speaking at this conference, Coimbatore collector T.N. Hariharan said “Children need a healthy environment at home to grow. Dysfunctional families and parents separating has an impact on the child’s growth. Regardless of our social background, we must ensure that we create a happy atmosphere in our homes for our children.”
“The Chief Minister J Jayalalitha’s cradle scheme has saved several innocent infants from being disowned and killed. Social issues related to children like child abuse, child labour among other issues cannot be tackled by the Government alone. It is the responsibility of the public to join hands with the Government in dealing with such issues. Only then will there be an end to such issues.”
“In order to safeguard the interest of the children, a law was introduced in 2015. As per this law strict action will be taken against NGOs and child care homes who fail to register and obtain the necessary permission to run their respective centre.”
