A board meeting of Uttarakhand Commission for Protection of Child Rights was held on Thursday presided over by Yogendra Khanduri, the chairman of the commission.
A few decisions taken during the meeting included that Uttarakhand Commission for Protection of Child Rights will be used from now onwards instead of State Child Rights Protection in all correspondence and files. A letter would be written to the State Government by the Finance Controller for providing separate budget to the commission. The board also endorsed the Commission's proposed framework and asked for early action by the Government.
A training camp would be held soon to train police personnel concerned for the effective enforcement of POCSO Act. There will be a State level workshop in May concerning POCSO , R T I and child trafficking at Badrinath. Another State level workshop would be organised in Dehradun in February.
