Now ‘Bal Darbar’ in 29 Bihar districts from November 14 to 20

PATNA: The state social welfare department will start a new initiative, ‘Bal Darbar, Hamar Darbar’, in association with Unicef on the lines of ‘janata darbar’. Children and adolescents will get a chance to place their grievances before people’s representatives, district magistrates and senior officials of departments concerned at the ‘Bal Darbar’.
The ‘Bal Darbar’ will be organised across 29 districts from November 14 to 20 during the Child Rights Safety Week. An orientation programme was held in this regard on Friday.
Assistant director of social welfare department, Alok Ranjan, said the grievances of children and adolescents would be forwarded to the policymakers.
Initially, 30 to 40 children and adolescents from different social groups will be able to raise various issues related to their districts. Seven to eight representatives will then be selected from among these children and adolescents to meet the DM concerned. Finally, one person from each group will be selected for participation in the state-level ‘darbar’ on November 20.
