SRM Institute of Science and Technology in partnership with the Dr Kailash Satyarthi Foundation launched their own Centre of Child Rights at their Kattankulathur campus on Monday.
Nobel laureate and child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi presided over the event and delivered the keynote address. “You my young friends can be the drivers of change. Change is not outside, it is inside you. You are the change,” he said urging students to play a larger global role voicing against child labour.
“You can challenge companies using child labour in their supply chain. You can be a good volunteer, write small blogs and use social media skills for betterment of humanity,” he said.
He also spoke about the increasing cases of assault and abuse prevalent against children in our country and the need to combat it. “In the next one hour, eight children will go missing and six children would get raped. In the land of Saraswati, Durga and Lakshmi, our girls are not safe and our boys too are not safe. You have the ability to change this, the ability to protect them. Each one of you must do your bit for society and the country.”
Vice chancellor Sandeep Sancheti welcomed the gathering with the vice chancellor T P Ganesan.
