New Delhi:
The Ministry of Women and Child Development has invited suggestions to make schools safer for children.
“The government is making an all-out effort to underpin Child Safety in Schools. Send us Your Suggestions with hashtag #MissionSchoolSafety (sic),” tweeted MWCD on Wednesday.
The ministry is under pressure to create a stringent system to check schools and other educational institutions for safety measures after seven-year-old Pradhyuman was brutally murdered by allegedly a bus conductor in school washroom on September 8.
