Fight Against Child Labour

Childhood is the most innocent phase of life, where a solid foundation is to be laid for a successful adulthood. But how many children are actually living according to their age in this world.

The World Day against Child Labour is celebrated on 12^th June across the Globe. After Africa, India accounts for the second highest number where children are employed and exploited. Recognizing the increasing problem of child labour in India, the Parliament passed ‘The Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986’.

According to the United Nations and the International Labor Organization, child labour is to be considered if:

“...States Parties recognize the right of the child to be protected from economic exploitation and from performing any work that is likely to be hazardous or to interfere with the child's education, or to be harmful to the child's health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development.”

The Meghalaya State legal Services Authority, Shillong in collaboration with the office of the Deputy Commissioner, Shillong organized the Child Labour’s Day . Students & Faculties of Sikkim Manipal University, Martin Luther Christian University & Lady Keane college participated in the seminar & discussed on the causes & measures against Child Labour. The chairman of the program was Shri Alexander S. Mukhim, EAC, followed by distinguished guests like Smti Fenela Lyngdoh Nonglait , Dr. Soma Bhowmick & Smti R. R. Marak, MCS Addl. Deputy Commisioner, East Khasi Hills.

This social woe of child labour can be brought under control, if we, as responsible citizens take accountability of reporting about anyone employing a child below the age of fourteen-years. Also we can educate people about the law, providing awareness of family planning, child education & health. Charity begins at home so we can start from our maid to the neighbourhood & we need not of go out in the street with demonstrations. Many people avoid reporting about such incidents in their neighborhood, as they fear the number of times they would have to visit to make statements against the culprits. Or then, people just prefer to turn a blind eye towards such employers, as they do not wish to spoil relations with people.

Let us contribute as drops in the ocean & be a part in creating a healthy society free from Child Labour. Every child has the right to breathe the free air & live his childhood.

TURN YOUR MOOD AROUND

It all depends on us how we visualize the environment. We are the decision makers of ambiguity in life.

FRIENDS 4EVER

No Tornado, no storm or no weapon in the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of man. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have. Fight against all odds & make your own way. Have courage & faith & God will do the rest. According to me Efforts and Courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

Charisma of Cherrapunjee

Major Tourist Attractions of Cherrapunjee

Sohra is the official & local name of Cherrapunjee, it is located approx. 56 kms from Shillong city. It carried the title of “the wettest place on Earth”.

The first spot to cover just before reaching Cherrapunjee, is the Dain-Thlen Falls. One can relish the beauty of nature from here.

Next is the Noh-Sngithiang Falls, also known as Mawsmai Falls. Here, several waterfalls flow down together to a gorge.

Tourist cannot miss the adventure of entering the Mawsmai Cave, but one has to be careful from the slippery route inside, though well-light & safe.

Nohkalikai Falls is the highest falls in Meghalaya, it’s a

treat to eye. Local honey, cinamonum (hindi-Dalchini), etc is available in this spot.

Thangkharang Park is a place one can relax & encompass environmental pleasure with a clear view of Kynrem falls.

Eco park is a green park, you can get the feel of being in clouds & also see the origin of one of the waterfalls. A particular attraction is the missing waterfalls, no idea about the origin & base of this falls (currently covered with grill).

Khoh Ramhah is a “Giants Basket” also known as “Motrop”. This place has a huge rock dome also called as Pillar rock. Visitors can catch a panoramic view of Bangladesh from this place.

Living Root Bridge is located at the Laitkynsew and Nongriat villages. This bridge is naturally constructed with strong roots. An awesome place for trekkers & adventure lovers.

Mawlynnong village is another picnic spot which carries the title of Asia’s cleanest village, here the local villagers assure hygiene. It is situated very close to Bangladesh border.

If you happen to visit Shillong, Cherrapunjee & the surrounding areas are must see places. Don’t miss it.

Happy Travelling!

ANNA HAZARE’S CRUSADE WAS NOT FOR HIMSELF BUT FOR ALL THE INDIANS.

We, the Shillongites, stride on the 9^th of April for the righteous cause, various activists groups like the Grand Council of Chiefs of Meghalaya (GCCM), Art of Living, Central Puja Committee, Khasi Students Union (KSU), Federation of Khasi, Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP), Civil Society of Women Organisation (CSWO), Sikkim Manipal University (SMU), Meghalaya Trade Union and others participated in the convention. A draft was circulated during the meeting for the signature campaign, to get the public opinion on the Right to information movement.

I am including few points mentioned in the draft for an effective Anti Corruption Commission below:

1. It has to be independent

2. The selection process of Commissioners has to be transparent & participatory,

3. It needs pro-active powers to investigate & charge sheet corruption in all aspects of governance & public life, from Chief Minister to office assistant.

4. A fast track court has to be associated with the commission, which shall have to give time bound judgments. Commission should have its own independent legal team to represent it.

5. It has to be accessible & people friendly like RTI & have a strong relationship to the RTI Act.

This gathering showed the public strength & keenness to eradicate corruption from the system. We look forward for the success & constant follow-up of the Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's Ombudsman Bill).

Its time, we, Indians must curb out corruption; neither participate nor allow others to veil dishonesty.

Jai Hind!
