Winner of The Diana Award 2019, Champa Kumari, met Governor Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday along with members of Kailash Satyarthi Children Foundation. Resident of Jamdar village of Giridih, young Champa received the award for her work in spreading awareness on crime against children. Once a victim of child labour herself, Champa has worked extensively in preventing child marriages in Giridih.
She met members of KSFC in 2016 during a rally when she used to work as a labourer along with her parents.
When she showed interest in education KSFC members got her admitted in class six of a local government high school. Since then, along with studying Champa has regularly been working towards spreading awareness against child labour, child marriage, trafficking and other crimes against children at State and national level.
The governor appreciated the efforts of Champa and wished for her bright future.
