Kohima June 4 : NAGALAND GOVERNOR K Sankaranarayanan today challenged the people to question themselves of the efficacy of their efforts and commitment towards providing better living conditions and future for their children, pointing out that a large number of children continue to live sub-human lives. He said the uplift and proper care of our children is a most important and noble task which requires the efforts of all the well-meaning individuals and organisations besides the government.Exhorting the North East Zonal Committee meeting of the Indian Council for Child Welfare at Hotel Japfü this morning, the Governor said our welfare state has always been alive to the burning issue of the acute deprivation and distress that exists among a great population of our children and has made numerous efforts to bring about a genuine and meaningful transformation in the lives of the children and their unfortunate parents. However, while there have been noticeable successes, we cannot but question ourselves of the efficacy of our efforts and commitments when we are confronted with the unpleasant situation of a large number of children living sub-human lives, Sankaranarayanan said. He cited the some success examples such as the nationwide Integrated Child Development Scheme, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Mid-Day Meal scheme and other poverty alleviation programmes such as the NREGA and REGA in increasing the income of the poor and thereby helping them provide better future for their children.The Governor also expressed pain that despite more than six decades of independence, many children still live their childhood that can never be called normal. “The future that we want our society to be like depends to a great extent on the way we nurture, care, mould and bring up our children,” he said adding that a sensitive and enlightened society would never even for a moment shirk this very responsibility towards its most precious asset – the children.Earlier, speaking as guest of honour, President of the Indian Council for Child Welfare, New Delhi, Gita Siddhartha highlighted some of the major concerns and achievements of the ICCW and said the people are the collective voice of the future of the children of India. Also, speaking on the occasion, Parliamentary Secretary Chotisuh Sazo said the government alone cannot ensure the rights of children and that it needs the cooperation and support of all concerned. Gita Siddhartha and her team from the ICCW later visited the World War Cemetery and villages in Southern Angami area where they were entertained with cultural programmes.
