Imphal, July 12, 2013:
A one-day state-level workshop on Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) and Right to Food was organized by Manipur Alliance for Child Rights (MACR) under the supervision of Child Rights and You (CRY), Kolkata at the Conference Hall of Hotel Imphal here today.
A survey report on implementation of ICDS in Manipur was also released by MACR on the occasion.
The workshop was attended by Chairman of Manipur Commission for Protection of Child Rights A Nabachandra as Chief Guest and Senior Manager of CRY Ashim Ghosh as President.
Speaking on the occasion, former member of Manipur Human Rights Commission Ng Nongyai said that ICDS is a centrally sponsored programme for overall development of children right from birth up to the age of six years.
However, this programme is not implemented properly in the State.
There have been allegations for fund misappropriation against the officials, he noted.
He further commended the efforts of MACR in bringing out a detailed survey report on ICDS, and appealed to all to join hands to end crime and violence against children in the State.
