The event celebrated the work of Hand in Hand India's Child Labour Elimination team's work over the years. Students from Hand in Hand India's residential training centres performed yoga to the delight of the audience.
Karthikeyan while appreciating the work of Hand in Hand India's many ventures, mentioned that children have as many rights as adults have duties to protect them.
The police force is as important to society as are teachers, who mould the children into responsible citizens. Karthikeyan's mention that 'contentment comes from doing service to others' drew resounding applause from the audience.
Participating in the event was Mathiazhagan, the District Child Protection Officer and Ponnramu, ASP-Women and Child Welfare.
Mathiazhagan highlighted the fact the Hand in Hand India was the first organisation in Tamil Nadu to release a Child Protection Policy.
