Student art competition to mark "National girl Child Day"!!!
Every january 24, india observes National girl Child Day. The Ministry of women and Child Development and the indian government began it in 2008 to bring attention to the inequities females experience in indian society. Activities to mark the occasion include raising awareness of Save the girl Child, child s*x ratios, and creating a safe and healthy environment for girls.
This day acknowledges that girls are still being given adequate care for their protection, security, nutrition, education, and health. National girl Child Day calls attention to these problems and implores the government to work toward improving girls' living circumstances.
On january 24, the salem Division of Southern Railway will hold a sketching contest for students at the Nilgiri Mountain Railway Museum at Mettupalayam railway station to commemorate "National girl Child Day."
