Child Friendly City-Surat - A joint initiative by SMC and UNICEF.
Child
friendly city –Surat was launched by Surat Municipal Corporation and UNICEF in
2017. It is a joint initiative in sake of protecting the children’s rights. So the
project officer Mr. Anuj Ghanekar invited a group of creative people including
me for taking this project ahead. Its first meeting was arranged on 13 August,
2019 at the municipal school near Agrasen bhavan, Surat. It had clear objectives
of protecting the city children through various activities.
Mr.
Anuj introduced the basic objectives to us. He told that we surati needed to do
something to save the lives of the children. Further he added that we should
find some creative activities through education. So he put request to all the
creative people and asked them to write something for the project. Even they
can find innovative ways to deal with the issues of the children. Some of them
also shared experiences with him and his two associates. One of them said that
they could achieve the objectives by keeping various competitions among the
children. Another pointed out to compile a news paper for these children. I also
shared my feeling and expressed that we had to train them in practical way. So that
they would find some space in order to make the good and bright citizen.
The
meeting ended with promise to submit some creative works within 15 days. In the
end, Mr.Anuj expressed a vote of thanks to all of them
