let our children realise their full potential, and provide them environment that is best suited for their overall development,” opined Sourav Ganguly, former skipper of the Indian cricket team, as he extends his support to CRY’s (Child Rights and You) nation-wide election advocacy campaign.
The Vote for Child Rights Campaign aims to advocate the need to give due emphasis to child rights in the political parties’ electoral agenda and their manifestos. Speaking on the occasion Ganguly said: “Children are entrusted with the future of the nation and the greatest gift we can bequeath to a child is provide them all means to realise their potential and provide them environment that is best suited for their development. Without education, good health and physical strength children will not be able to lead truly happy lives. The strength of a nation depends on the strength of its children.”
“It is indeed heartening to see that CRY , with its huge experience of more than three decades of working with the underprivileged children has come up with such an initiative. I do believe that it will have a lasting impact. Surely it is time when our children’s issues are duly addressed with fullest priorities,” he told.
