On the occasion of a district-level interface on child rights focusing on exclusion programme, secretary of Centre for Child and Women Development (CCWD) Sadasiv Swain claimed that due to the BPl card problem the private schools are not allowing children from excluded families to take admission.
Speaking at the programme organised by the CCWD with the help of Save the Children, an international child rights organisation, at the Red Cross Bhawan here on Tuesday, journalist Surendra Patra and corporator Madan Majhi stressed the role of media towards development of child rights and the need of Government flaghip programmes for children. Besides, different city based and city outskirts child clubs members demanded safe drinking water, child-friendly environment and separate toilet facilities for both boys and girls in schools.
