Now one can see pictorially why children are still out of schools. A citizen photojournalism campaign Click Rights, aims to pictorially highlight the barriers to education still faced by 8,150,618 children in India.
The online photography campaign was launched by the NGO Child Rights and You (CRY). Under the initiative citizens from all walks of life are invited to click photographs of children who are not in school, whether in their
neighbourhood, around their work places or colleges and in and around the city at large and upload the pictures on the foundation site that will be sent to a ministry.
Noted photographer Raghu Rai has been roped in to conduct a session on the use of photographs as a medium to highlight child rights
issues.
