CHILD TRAFFICKING  AND CHILD ABUSE HAS TO COME TO AN END.

Trafficking in children is a global problem affecting large numbers of children. Some estimates have as many as 1.2 million children being trafficked every year. There is a demand for trafficked children as cheap labour or for sexual exploitation. Children and their families are often unaware of the dangers of trafficking, believing that better employment and lives lie in other countries.

Students take up social responsibilty

Bangalore: Prayaas-A Social Responsibility Initiative, a programme by students of the Executive Postgraduate Programme in Management (EPGP) of Indian Institute of Management- Bangalore (IIM-B), was held here recently.

A blood donation camp and a free Jaipur foot camp, inaugurated by D.R. Mehta, founder and Chief Patron of Jaipur Foot, was organised as part of the initiative.

A release said that about 23 patients from across the State were fitted with custom-made prosthetic limbs in the foot camp. As part of Prayaas, children of Suryodaya Boys' Hostel were invited to the IIM-B campus by the students where a painting competition was organised for them. They were also taken around the sprawling campus.

Among those present at the event included R Balasubramaniam of Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement (SVYM), S. Aravind of Aravind Eye Care and IIM-B Director Pankaj Chandra.

Prayaas made a deep impact on the students and faculty of IIM-B, according to a press release.
