Odisha police to groom teens as child marriage watchdogs

Odisha Police are implementing a three-day awareness drive to combat child marriage beginning October 8. This initiative aims to develop adolescent students as crusaders against child marriage and encourage reporting. Police will conduct sessions in schools focusing on the effects of child marriage. The campaign is part of the Juventica initiative launched earlier this year. The state’s child marriage rates have shown a decline, but the situation remains concerning. Inspired By
