National Girl Child Day on 24th January 2022
From female infanticide and gender inequality and discrimination to sexual abuse and violence, there are numerous issues that girls continue to face. With the objective of highlighting the inequalities faced by girls and promoting awareness about the rights of a girl child and the importance of their education, health, and nutrition, National Girl Child Day is celebrated in India every year on January 24. This is an initiative of the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD) which conducts various events on the day across the country along with other ministries like the Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Ministry of Science, and Technology, and Ministry of Skill Development. The purpose of the day is also to change the attitude of society towards girls and uplift the girl child, says the Ministry of Women and Child Development.
For all the Child Care Institutions, the Department of Women and Child, Government of Puducherry organized the program. The staff members of Janani Home, participated in the program. Participation certificates were issued to the participants.
