The President of India, Shri Ram Nath Kovind, graced and addressed the closing ceremony of the Bharat Yatra for a ‘Surakshit Bachpan-Surakshit Bharat’ being organised by Shri Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation at Rashtrapati Bhavan on October 16, 2017.
This Yatra for a ‘Surakshit Bachpan-Surakshit Bharat’ is a big step towards providing a safe environment for children in our nation. It is the duty of every person in the country to connect with the objectives of this Yatra and provide our children the opportunity and experience of being citizens of a better India.
The Bharat Yatra for ‘Surakshit Bachpan-Surakshti Bharat’ was a non-violent war on sexual abuse, rape and trafficking of children.
On the occasion, the President also lit a symbolic Diya – ‘Bal Suraksha Jyoti’.
