Governor Dr Syed Ahmed on Friday said that no child should isolated from the mainstream society and should be provided better education, better health services and the social organisations should come forward with devotion to guide the children in honing their skills.
The Governor was speaking at the concluding ceremony of function organised by Jharkhand State Children Welfare Council at Ranchi. The council had organised a camp—‘lets learn to live together’—to inculcate sense of unity among children in the State.
The Governor said any State can progress only when its children make all-round progress because children are the real asset of any State. They (children) will share economic, social, political responsibility of any State and our country has great expectations from them, said the Governor. Our children have made great strides in many areas hence efforts must be made to hone their talent and it must be collective responsibility, added Governor.
Governor praised talents of differently-abled children and expressed that children of the category have proved themselves whenever they have been given opportunity. Governor said camps like these help in developing understanding among children and improves their inter-personal skills besides making them competitive. Governor presented awards to children for their performance in the camp.

Council’s vice-president Rup lekha Prasad said children who participated in the camp were given exposure to museums, war memorials, fire-fighting activities and Swachchh Bharat Abhiyan run by Urban Development department.
