Delhi Government to Launch Citywide Campaign to Address Child Beggary
The Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, plans to launch a 'Child Beggar-Free Delhi' campaign across all 13 districts to protect children found begging. The initiative focuses on counselling families, addressing root causes, and providing education and skill training, rather than forcibly removing children. Authorities will also target organised gangs exploiting children. The campaign, supported by the Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights and NGOs, is expected to begin around Independence Day, with public feedback invited.
