Ganderbal: In a concerted effort to raise awareness on crucial social issues, the Child Development Project Offices (CDPO) in Ganderbal and Kangan on Thursday hosted a comprehensive awareness camp.
The event was organized by Sankalp Ganderbal in collaboration with the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), Social Welfare Department, and the School Education Department.
The awareness camp covered a range of topics including the JK Samhadhan grievance redressal system, gender issues, Swachhta Pakhwada, and the Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) initiative.
The camp was attended by CDPO’s, Supervisors and AWW’s.
At CDPO office Ganderbal, officials emphasized the importance of JK Samadhan, explaining how residents can utilize the platform to voice their grievances and seek timely resolutions.
The session on gender issues was particularly impactful, with interactive discussions on women’s rights, gender equality and measures to combat gender-based violence.
