26 June, 2013: A long
but gratifying day learning just what it takes to make protection a reality for
children across West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chattisgarh, Arunachal
Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and the Andamans
on my first visit to @CHILDLINE1098 's Eastern region team. Particularly struck
by the role @CHILDLINE1098 plays in ensuring lofty policy promises are
implemented in practice. And in navigating the maze of allied systems - police,
railways, judiciary, ministries, child welfare and juvenile justice
institutions, hospitals, telecom service providers - and NGOs - to get
coordinated, timely action when too many are mired in apathy, bureaucracy and
indifference.Huge challenges confronted with conviction, persistence and
relentless stamina block by block, ward by ward, district by district, state by
state, often at great personal risk.
*Ingrid Srinath is the Executive Director of CHILDLINE India Foundation.

Hike in salary for the ground level staffs will generate more motivation & dedication towards the work...Staff turnover in a regular basis is hampering productive & qualitative work.
