April 4, 2022

When the four pillars of democracy - the legislature, executive, judiciary, and the press - work as a team, remarkable things happen. It's a privilege to be connected with the best in each of these pillars.   Sudha Nambudiri, your continuous support and dedication to the causes that matter are truly appreciated. You fill our hearts, souls, and minds for all the right reasons.   #NIOS_Sensitize_Teachers #Discipline_is_NOT_about_humiliating_and_insulting_children #Teach_Respect_by_Modelling_it NOT_by #Abusing_ones_power_or_privilege   I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Adv. Nazeer Chaliyam, who has consistently shown his commitment to safeguarding the rights of children. Since my association with you through Together We Can's work starting in 2015, it has been a privilege to know you and witness all the landmark orders you have passed, including this groundbreaking one for NIOS.   Thank you once again for being an advocate for child and disability rights.   ------------------ #ORDER Based on the facts stated above, the Commission, using its power under section 15 of the Commission for Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005, issues the following recommendations:
