Assam government has announced to set up a dedicated fund
for prevention, rescue and rehabilitation of trafficked children.
"Starting a new chapter of ensuring immunity of
children against bonded labour, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi announced creation
of a separate dedicated corpus fund in league with Kailash Satyarthi Childhood
Foundation for prevention, rescue and rehabilitation of children of
Assam," an official release said.
For this purpose, the government has announced Rs one crore
as initial corpus, it added.
"This is a unique initiative of the state government
for the prevention, rescue and rehabilitation of the exploited and deprived
children and guaranteeing their future," the statement said.
This fund was announced by Gogoi during a breakfast meet
with Noble Laureate Kailash Satyarthi.
Gogoi also sought Satyarthi's help in the government's
endeavour of making the state free from bonded child labour.
In every district of the state and in 'Assam Bhawans' across
the country, the government will designate a nodal officer for identification,
rescue and rehabilitation of children under bonded labour, the Chief Minister
said.
He also said the dedicated fund will be used exclusively on
a three-point agenda -- prevention, rescue and rehabilitation of children.
The statement said that Satyarthi appreciated the state
government's handling of insurgency, which is already on the wane.
"Gogoi apprised the Noble Laureate that his government
has been able to bring several subversive groups to the mainstream and as a result
of which several militant organisations have joined the peace process," it
added.
