Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Governor KT Parnaik demanded a collective push to safeguard the state's youth. He issued the call on November 13, just one day before Children's Day. The holiday commemorates the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister. Parnaik told families, schools, communities, and government agencies to step up.
Children are the bedrock of a strong nation. They need safety to grow. The Governor insisted that adults protect kids from the harshest realities of life. He specifically highlighted child labour, trafficking, abuse, exploitation, neglect, and all forms of violence as primary threats. Kids require a supportive space to realize their potential.
Holistic development remains the main goal. Parnaik noted that society must ensure proper nutrition, healthcare, quality education, and equal opportunities for every child. He challenged the younger generation to stay focused. "Children must be provided with a safe and supportive environment to learn, grow and realise their potential," Parnaik said. He wants them to dream big and maintain their curiosity to master future challenges.
