Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that why children should have only one day in a year, we want to create such a Madhya Pradesh in which every day of the year is for children. Children should smile, play, express themselves in creation to the fullest and create their own world. On the occasion of World Children's Day, Chouhan was releasing the 2022 calendar developed by the Child Rights Observatory, Madhya Pradesh on paintings made by children.
Notably, November 20 is celebrated as International Children's Day in memory of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Child Rights Observatory Madhya Pradesh, in collaboration with UNICEF, has been working since 2007 to promote and protect child rights. Chief of UNICEF Madhya Pradesh Sushri Margaret Gwada, President of Child Rights Observatory Dr Nirmala Buch, Secretary of the organization Sheela Bhambal took part in the program. About 16 child painters were also present in the program.
Chouhan said that the creative potential of children has been manifested in a very beautiful way in the calendar.
Children have expressed the frustration-disappointment during the Corona period, its consequences and the state of hope in these circumstances, the joy of making disaster as an opportunity in the calendar.
The difficulties of online studies during Corona period have also found a place in the calendar. The pain caused by loss of parents' job during Corona has also been expressed by the children. Children have also given expression to the happiness of staying with their parents for a long time in the Corona period. No one can describe the joy of affection, love, mother's love, intimacy, but children have also expressed these feelings in the pictures in the calendar.
The Chief Minister said that to deal with Corona, the state government has started a campaign with the support of people. There are many people in Corona who risked their lives to save the lives of others.
The state government is continuously running a campaign for vaccination. Chouhan appealed to the children to participate in activities like sports and music along with studies and make continuous efforts to enhance their talent.
Hard work and continuous effort are the base of success. Capacity is developed only by putting in efforts. Only commitment and efforts helps a person to achieve the goal. Chouhan gave a message to the children to make their life useful for the society and the country.
