The National Girl Child Day is celebrated in India every year on January 24. It was initiated in 2008 by the Ministry of Women and Child Development and the government of India, to spread public awareness about inequities that girls face in Indian society. The day is celebrated with organized programs including awareness campaigns about Save the Girl Child, child sex ratios, and the creation of a healthy and safe environment for girls.
As part of the national girl child day, NSS volunteers visited Alphonsa Balika Bhavan, Changanacherry and distributed various daily use items like soaps, towels, tooth paste, hand wash, liquid soap, crayons etc to the inmates of Bhalika Bhavan on 24 January 2023. NSS volunteers conducted various cultural programmes also.
