The state social welfare department will start a new initiative, Bal Darbar, Hamar Darbar, in association with Unicef on the lines of janata darbar. Children and adolescents will get a chance to place their grievances before peoples representatives, district magistrates and senior officials of departments concerned at the Bal Darbar.
The Bal Darbar will be organised across 29 districts from November 14 to 20 during the Child Rights Safety Week.
Initially, 30 to 40 children and adolescents from different social groups will be able to raise various issues related to their districts. Seven to eight representatives will then be selected from among these children and adolescents to meet the DM concerned. Finally, one person from each group will be selected for participation in the state-level darbar on November 20.
