Title: Book Donation Campaign Launched in Dubetola Village
Introduction:
Dubetola village in Parihar block, Bihar, known as the first child marriage-free village, has initiated another unique initiative. A group of youths in the village is running a campaign against child labor. This campaign, involving various organizations and the district administration, aims to raise awareness through rallies, awareness programs, street plays, etc.
Book Donation Campaign:
The members of the Child Protection Committee, Chandan Manjhi and Indra Kumari, initiated the “Book Donation” campaign to establish a library in the Mahadalit basti of Dubetola. The village is now filled with enthusiasm after the launch of this initiative.
Elimination of Child Labor:
Dubetola, located near the Nepal border, used to witness child trafficking due to its geographical location. However, through the relentless efforts of the Save Childhood Movement, various programs were organized to attract children towards education, resulting in the eradication of child labor. The children in the village are now attending high school and middle school, making the village completely child marriage-free and child labor-free.
Importance of Library:
Dubetola village, being child marriage-free, requires the establishment of a library to promote education among children. To fulfill this need, a collective book donation campaign has been initiated. On the first day of the campaign, some books were already donated. The support and cooperation of everyone in the village are expected to make this initiative successful.
