Chief guest ZP member Jayanararayan Negi spoke about the need for girl’s education.
He also said the parents must give priority to the education of child instead of trying to get them married at early age.
On the occasion, Odisha Jibika Mission member Kumadini Tappo and Sabitri Tandia also discussed about the post-effects of child marriage and its legal implications.
