In Rajasthan, government school principals have been tasked with preventing child marriage in their areas. They will be responsible for gathering evidence, raising awareness, and stopping such marriages.
A new responsibility has been assigned to principals of government schools in Rajasthan. They are now expected to act as child marriage prevention officers, tasked with curbing the practice within their designated areas. This initiative aims to empower school leaders to play an active role in safeguarding children from early marriage. Principals will be responsible for collecting evidence of child marriages, raising awareness among students, parents, and the community, and working to prevent such occurrences.
