SCPCR & CWC Chairpersons visit Gannavaram child care home, rescue 5-year-old allegedly tortured by father.
AP State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) Chairperson K. Appa Rao, and the Child Welfare Commission (CWC) Chairperson K. Suvartha made a surprise visit to a child care home, and Sishu Gruha, located at Gannavaram in Krishna district on Thursday.
Mr. Appa Rao, along with Commission Member J. Rajendra Prasad, interacted with a five-year-old, who was allegedly detained and subjected to torture by her father.
The girl, a native of Jaggaiahpet, was allegedly detained in her home for the last four years and was tortured by her father, said Mr. Appa Rao.
“Neighbours alerted the Sachivalayam, the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) of NTR District, and the Women Development and Child Welfare (WD&CW) officials about the pathetic condition of the girl,” said Mr. Rajendra Prasad.
“The victim was rescued in a joint operation and admitted to Government General Hospital (GGH), Vijayawada, as she was anaemic,” Ms. Suvartha told The Hindu.
Mr. Appa Rao directed the Jaggaiahpet police and the WD&CW department officials to register a case and take stern action against the accused.
There is a really big open question about whether Gen-Z is signing up to teach. What I hear from people all over the world is that this is one of our most central challenges. We are working across the Teach For All (TFA) network to recruit people aggressively to commit two years to teach in the communities where they are needed because we have seen that those two years of commitment is transformational for students who are in classrooms and for the teachers themselves because what you do shapes who you are.
