Kudumbashree 'Balasadas- Onnichirikkam Othiri Parayam' to be held in 19470 wards on 2 October 2024

Posted on Tuesday, September 24, 2024

'Balasadas-Onnichirikkam Othiri Parayam' will be organized in all 19470 wards of the state with the participation of Kudumbashree Balasabha members on 2 October 2024. More than four lakh children who are members of 31,612 Balasabha under Kudumbashree will participate in this programme. As part of this, the children of the Balasabha in each ward will come together and discuss the problems, crises, duties and rights they are facing.

Balasabha children from five to eighteen years of age will participate in the Balasadas. As a part of this, children will gather in nature-friendly places in each ward during 2 PM to 5 PM. The first step is to prepare a report by dividing the questions raised by the children in the Balasabha, the social problems and the needs of the children into various topics under the leadership of the Balasabha Resource Persons. Then these reports will be submitted to the respective CDS Offices before 10 October 2024. In this way, the reports received at the CDS level will be collated and presented to the Bala Panchayat and Bala Urban Local Body and then will be submitted to the Chairman and Secretary of the Local Self Government Institution. The problems raised by the children through the reports will be solved at the local level. The aim is to present the rest in the State Bala Parliament and thereby bring to the attention of the Government and find solutions. 
 
Balasadas aims to provide practical knowledge to effectively organize Children's Grama S0abha and also to develop skills in identifying social problems and finding solutions for them. Also, there are objectives to empower Balasabhas, develop the organizational skills of children, leadership qualities and logical thinking in children. District Missions, State-CDS Resource Persons and ADS Mentors have been tasked with organizing Balasadas.
 
Before the Balasadas, 'Kolayikkoottam' will be organized in each ward with the participation of the Balasabha members. Also, various publicity activities including reels, poster writing, status post competition and flash mob will be organized as part of the campaign.
 
Balasabhas are children's NHGs formed with the aim of protecting children's rights and instilling a sense of democracy in them. The Balasadas is organized ahead of the Bala Parliament proposed to be held in December this year.
