As part of an upcoming child safety awareness campaign, a volunteer training session was conducted on 4 July 2026 at Samriddhi Early Learning Center. The session brought together enthusiastic volunteers from diverse backgrounds, ranging in age from 20 to over 60 years, who came forward to support the cause of child protection. Lasting for more than five hours, the training was highly informative, interactive, and focused on preparing volunteers for community outreach. The training was conducted by Dr. Usha, a Psychiatric Social Worker from NIMHANS, covering topics such as the POCSO Act, child rights, drug abuse prevention, the importance of education, and the functioning of the 1098 helpline.
