The Venkateshwara Group Founder President Dr Sudhir Giri reiterated that children, especially girls, are the backbone of a developed nation. Instead of indulging in child labour and household chores, girls should have school bags and hockey sticks in their hands.
Pro-Chancellor Dr Rajeev Tyagi asserted that child marriage is not only an evil practice but also a national shame. Let’s all come together to erase this evil practice from our society. By spreading awareness against child marriage, we can make poor, exploited and underprivileged children join the mainstream of development.
Those present included the VC, Dr KK Dave, Registrar, Dr Piyush Pandey, PRO, Dr Shri Ram Gupta, Karunanidhi, Mamta Dubey, Arun Goswami, and Tanishq Tyagi.
Moreover, the Meerut Campus Director, Dr Pratap Singh, was present along with the Media Incharge, Mr. Vishwas Rana, among others.
