Restore childhood of displaced children in Manipur: Chairperson

Bishnupur (Manipur), Nov 13 (UNI) A one-day Inter-Departmental Consultative Meeting on Child Protection, with special focus on the Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Internally Displaced Children in Bishnupur district, was held today in Bishnupur.
Chairperson of Manipur Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MCPCR), Keisam Pradeep Kumar, stated that the consultative meeting aims to ensure that no child is left behind in the transition from displacement to recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration.
He emphasised that protecting and restoring the childhood of internally displaced children must be a collective institutional responsibility.

The meeting, held at the Conference Hall of Mini Secretariat Complex, was organised by the Manipur Commission for Protection of Child Rights (MCPCR) in collaboration with the District Administration, Bishnupur, focussing on strengthening child protection mechanisms, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), Mission Vatsalya sponsorship, family-based care, community engagement and inter-departmental convergence.
Deputy Commissioner, Bishnupur, Pooja Elangbam, acknowledging that children are the future of society, highlighted the importance of such initiatives and appreciated MCPCR for taking the initiative to organise the consultative meeting, beginning with Bishnupur district.

One of the key resolutions of the meeting was the constitution of a District-Level Child Rights Protection Committee for Internally Displaced Children under the chairmanship of the Deputy Commissioner, with representation from the Departments of Education, Health, District Administration, Child Welfare Committee (CWC), Labour, District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).
