250 CHILDREN PAINT “KHUSHI” IN UDAIPUR
A
child’s mind is like a fertile ground on which ideas can be grown. Indeed the
children have the power to change the world, it is only a matter of sensitising
them of the social issues that the world has to deal with.
With this thought, Hindustan
Zinc – a Vedanta Group Company in Zinc-Lead-Silver business, organized “Khushi
Creative Workshop” for the children of classes 6th to 12th.
On 23rd November 2016, Udaipur saw 250 kids from the schools - Delhi
Public School Udaipur, Kendriya Vidyalaya, Seedling School, Ryan International,
The Study, Bohra Youth School, DAV, St. Mary’s Convent, Vidya Bhawan and St.
Matthews exhibiting their thoughts on child care.
Carried out at over 10
popular locations of Udaipur - Delhi Gate, Saheliyon ki Badi, Sukhadiya Circle,
Chetak Circle, Field Club, Gulab Bagh, Panchwati, Fatehpura, Science College
along with Hindustan Zinc Office-Yashad Bhawan - 8 selected students from each
of the schools painted on one of the 8 pre-identified child care themes - Child
Marriage, Child Abuse, Child Beggary, Save the Girl Child, Child Trafficking,
Child Labour, Child Malnutrition and Child Education.
Along with the painting
competition, the schools displayed their enthusiasm for Khushi and actively
conducted performances of band, skits and interesting street plays along with
choir. The students played instruments like drums, harmonium, bagpipers etc.,
dramatized various issues relating to child care and women empowerment, raised
banners and placards and also sang touching songs.
The founder of project
“Khushi”, and Head Corporate Communication – Hindustan Zinc, Pavan Kaushik
informed that the schools have shown keen interest and in a span of about 5
days he met about 3000 students and the children were found keen to bring
necessary change in the society.
“While the Government is
taking forward Digital India, Make in India and Skill India, there is a dire
need to initiate Human Resources of India. The country is passing through a
transition period. We are growing at each front but we also have to see what
future generation has in store for India. About 6 crore children in India are
deprived of health, education and nutrition. India contributes to largest child
deaths, largest malnourished children and largest street children in the world.
The future generation that is expected to take the country forward need to be
addressed today.” Pavan Kaushik said.
In this Khushi Creative
Workshop, children aimed to reach out to about 75% of Udaipur population and
convey sensitivity of children of Udaipur towards child related issues.
A designated jury took
rounds to all the 10 locations and motivated school children for the cause. The
jury also made the children understand the concept and how they perceived and
dealt with delicate issues painted on the canvas.
The winners will be later
awarded at a ceremony at Hindustan Zinc office -Yashad Bhawan in Udaipur.
Pavan
Kaushik also informed that “Hindustan Zinc has been working to provide
nutrition, health and education to deprived children in Rajasthan through
association with Anganwadis. As part of promoting the cause of child care
Hindustan Zinc launched project “Khushi” about 5 years back. The objective
of “Khushi” is to bring together similar minds that can then drive the cause of
child care. Project “Khushi” has over 200,000 followers across the world and
everyone wants to help the deprived children. There is no donation
required and neither do we accept. We just want people to develop a sense of
responsibility towards these children” said Pavan Kaushik.
Earlier,
Khushi had organized workshops for the slum children on education, health and
sanitation, nutrition and moral values.

VEDANTA KHUSHI - WHEN KHUSHI CAME FOR LAKSHMI’S RESCUE
Another step towards fight against Child Malnutrition
Lakshmi is a 15 months old daughter of Radheshyam Gameti
from Negadia Bheel Basti at Rajsamand. Lakshmi was severely malnourished with a
weight of mere 3.2 kg with 2.3 as Haemoglobin count. Even after the
repeated efforts of Mangilal, the KHUSHI coordinator at Anganwadi Centre,
Lakshmi’s parents did not take her to the hospital for the treatment. It is
only when KHUSHI nutrition specialist, Ms. Shweta Dave intervened, they
admitted her to the MTC Centre at Nathdwara. But when Lakshmi’s health got
critical, KHUSHI team got her admitted to the hospital and initiated her
treatment with professional team of doctors. Lakshmi required Blood for
her quick recovery. As she had rare Blood Group – AB –ve, different channels like
social media were utilized to request people to donate blood.
Finally, the help reached and now Lakshmi is at recovery
stage.
According to a status report on the Anganwadi (day care
centre) programme, officially known as ICDS, about 2.3 cr children in India, up
to 6 years of age are suffering from undernourishment and are under-weight,.
Despite many years to India’s independence, where country has
socio-economically developed, child malnutrition problem has remained unchanged
for years.
Poverty is not the only cause of malnutrition, it may be an
important cause due to lack of adequate food but lack of education and
resources to care for their children sums up the problem of Malnutrition.
One positive change that Lakshmi’s incident brought was that
lot many cases of undernourishment from her village came into limelight and
children were admitted to MTC Centre of Nathdwara for the treatment with the
help of KHUSHI team.
Hindustan Zinc’s Child Care Campaign – “KHUSHI” has always believed in creating awareness and to fight against
malnutrition in children. By saving life of Lakshmi, it has only strengthen
their mission to make India a Child malnourished free nation.

SELLING OF NATIONAL FLAG ON THE STREETS, HOW FAR CORRECT ? – “KHUSHI”
The Supreme Court in 1996
passed a landmark judgement allowing every citizen to fly the national flag
with respect, dignity and honour, thus making it a fundamental right. The Union
Government approved the recommendations of the inter-ministerial committee
headed by P. D. Shenoy and removed the restrictions on the use of the National
Flag by all Indian citizens from January 26, 2002.
National
Flag has always been a symbol of pride, patriotism and belongingness. Whether
it has been pre-independence era or post-independence, a well-laid down decorum
has been followed by all Indians across the world. In this the sentiments of
solders of India carry a special feeling and the chorus of ‘Jai Hind’ sends a
vibration in the entire country making every Indian proud.
Up
comes our Independence Day, 15th August, and people start looking
for the national flag for hoisting at their houses, offices and even their
cars.
“But
are people buying these flags out of patriotism or out of mercy on these
children? How far this is acceptable?” a question raised by child welfare
campaign “Khushi” Child Care Project.
When
the traffic light turns red and all vehicles come to a halt, these children
rush to the cars and autos while peddling small flags in their hands. These
children don’t even know what they are selling. For them, it’s a mere piece of
paper with saffron, green and white stripes that would bring them the money at
the end of the day.
“Government
is doing so much for the deprived children through Anganwadis but the children
still remain on the streets begging. Selling the national flag is equivalent to
quick money for them. Their parents are seated in shelter and they send
their children for only emotional quotient. It has become another method of
extracting money from people who get sentimental by seeing the national flag or
deprived children.” Says Pavan Kaushik, Founder of Project “Khushi”. People generally respond by saying that this is a source
of income for the kids and we should let them continue selling the national
flag. So are we now establishing the fact that child begging is a valid &
permissible source of income and we should continue to encourage the increasing
number of beggars in the country?” questions Pavan Kaushik. “If we want these
children to become assets to the nation, the emotional feeling needs to be
curbed for the betterment of these children.”

The Flag Code, established in
1950, has been amended after the historic and landmark decision of the Union
Cabinet.
The ten rupees from your
pocket won’t make much difference to you, but it would make the kid a beggar
for life. Do not encourage begging.
