It has been an absolute honour being associated with IIT Kharapur's annual extravaganza - Spring Fest. In 2017, they bring up a social theme titled "Masoomiyat" which aims to lead the battle against child abuse in all its ugly forms.
A lot many of you
reading this today would find yourself fortunate enough to have been blessed
with happy childhoods that have enabled you to lead secure lives. As you look
back on your glory days and find yourselves lost in fond nostalgia, reminiscing
your own dreamy childhood, pampered with love and affection, with not the
slightest care in the world, spare a thought for those little unfortunate souls
around you not blessed with a similar happy childhood.
In our humble bid to give voice to the unheard, we launch our
Social Cause for Spring Fest, IIT Kharagpur 2017, "Masoomiyat", An appeal to the child in you!
Masoomiyat
primarily focuses on shedding light on instances of child abuse, child labour
or child marriage and aims to strive for mitigation measures for the same. However,
it doesn't restrict itself to the aforementioned only. It aims to bring about a progressive change in
the holistic development of a child in terms of his social welfare, education
and opportunities.
With
recent associations such as Teach For India, UPAY, Child Rights and You (CRY)
and Gopali Youth Welfare Society, Spring Fest has strived to work towards
the educational requirements of children under the banner of Shiksha and our
efforts were recognised and boosted by Tata Housing, OIL and several other
prominent organizations in previous editions.
Masoomiyat aims to protect and preserve and build on the untarnished
innocence and truthfulness in a child in a more complete sense.
You can join us in our cause for
Child Rights and show support by dropping us a mail at masoomiyat.sf17@gmail.com and share your stories or suggestions.
