Plan India, the leading child-centered community development organisation, put together ‘National Workshop on Improving Quality of Life of Children’ in the Capital recently. The workshop was addressed by Govind Nihalani, Chairperson Plan India Board, along with other board of directors.
The workshop aimed at sharing Plan India’s experiences and on improving quality of life of children primarily by implementing child centered community development approaches. These would be attended by field practitioners, policy makers, researchers, academicians, media and professionals from development agencies and corporate sectors that have been actively engaged in promoting child rights and reducing child poverty.
At the event in IHC, six key publications of Plan were released and a theatre performance was hosted on the theme of the workshop by Delhi’s acclaimed Ashmita Theatre Group. ‘Since last 30 years of working in India, Plan, through its CCCD approach, has improved the lives of over a million of children across the country and during this process; children and communities have provided insightful experiences on various facets of lives affecting them. A number of lessons have been learnt that have the potential of further creating better modules that will help in implementing value based programs in the communities,’ said Bhagyashri Dengle.
Plan India is an NGO working to improve the lives of poor and needy children, their families and communities through an approach that puts children at the centre of community development. It encourages children to express their views and be actively involved in improving their communities.
