First and the foremost I would like to thank all of you for joining campaign Vedanta KHUSHI. Just to update on the KHUSHI Campaign - With sole objective to spread awareness towards care for the underprivileged children in India, Vedanta Group launched a social media campaign with the title, “KHUSHI - Care for the Underprivileged Children" in India. Campaign “KHUSHI” aims to sensitize people at large, towards the need for care for these children - their Nutrition – Education – Health and overall development.
The campaign has been launched through a blog http://www.khushi-creatinghappiness.blogspot.in that besides informing people about the alarming situation of poor children in India, also posts motivating heart touching stories of people who have helped underprivileged children through their own ways. We are please to now have associations of schools, colleges, opinion makers, and eminent people at large who are also not only part of this campaign but also taking it forward.
This campaign has been initiated with a thought that government, corporates and NGOs together cannot do it all and there has to be a direct participation from common people. We need to be sensitive towards this issue and participate equally for its prevention and cure.
“KHUSHI” by now has carried out 9 debates on Facebook :
1. How An Individual Can Contribute In Eradication Of Child Labour?
2. Khushi Debates - Increasing Menace Of Child Beggary In India - What Solutions Do We Have?
3. Khushi Debates - Every 3rd Malnourished Child In This World Stays In India - Does Solution Lies In Public-Private Partnership?
4. Khushi Debates : "How To Bring Underprivileged Children Back To The School" In India ?
5. Urban Street Children - What Future We Have For Them ?
6. Khushi Debates: Importance Of Girls Education In Villages
7. Khushi Debates: Should "Community Service Subject" Be A Part Of School Curriculum?
8. Vedanta Khushi Discussion - Health & Sanitation Issues In Rural India
9. Effects Of TV Ads On Children - Is It Education Or Over Education?
We are please that about 750 people participated and expressed their views, some of which have also been placed on the blog.
It is alarming to know that India houses the maximum number of children in the world, larger than China. Various reports inform that every 3rd malnourished child in the world lives in India. More so India contributes to more than 20% of the child deaths in the world. This is enough indication to all of us to unite and help our country overcome this problem ?
As the word “KHUSHI” says it all, it is a feeling of inner happiness, a gesture that says more than the words - a true spirit and an honest reciprocation. It is a contentment of fulfilling an objective or a mission close to the heart.
Thanks again for joining "VEDANTA KHUSHI - Care for the Underprivileged Children" Campaign. We are so very proud to have you in the GROUP.
