DIMAPUR — Focusing on the protection of child rights and school safety, State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) organised an orientation programme at Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS) auditorium in Peren town on Friday. The programme was sponsored by the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR).

Speaking at the programme, Dr. Zavise Rume, resource person and SCERT nodal officer, emphasised on the importance of safeguarding children’s rights.
