Subject: Parliamentary Forum for Children

Dear Smt Sumitra Mahajan,

Greetings from our coalition of voluntary organisations working for the rights of children in India.

We are writing to seek your kind attention to the fact that since May 2014, when the present Parliament was elected, the appointment of the Parliamentary Forum on Children has been pending. We request you to appoint this forum. 

Given the fact India is home to the world's largest population of children, and recognising that children's needs and rights deserve due recognition and attention in national affairs, we believe this forum should be operating and raising due attention to both the many challenges and the many opportunities of addressing children's rights in India. 
We note that the Government is soon to adopt a new national plan of action for children. Present realities make it important for this move to get due attention from our legislators. We note also that India's official adoption of the 2015/2030 Sustainable Development Goals implies dedicated national action to benefit children on critical issues such as health, nutrition, education and protection. Rising incidence of natural disasters and climate uncertainties is adding to risks children face. 
We believe national measures to address these concerns, and the governmental initiatives to improve conditions merit the active engagement of our national legislators, and we would like to repose confidence in their potential to bring about needed changes for children, as promised in our national Constitution.  

The Parliamentary Forum is an important mechanism for such positive advocacy and leadership. Recalling your own previous services to children at the helm of the subject ministry some years ago, we look forward to your personal interest and leadership in activating this forum, and energising it as its Chairperson.



Smt. Sumitra Mahajan
Hon'ble Speaker,
Lok Sabha
Parliament of India


We thank you in advance for your interest and attention.

With our respects and good wishes, 
Sincerely,  


Names and organisations of all those signing

Suneel Vatsyayan
Chairperson,

Exploring the Streets of Bengaluru: Face Reading and Shared Risks

Sometimes, the most profound lessons come from stepping out into the world, engaging with people from all walks of life, and embracing the shared risks that come with unconventional learning experiences... Suneel My recent stay in Bengaluru took an unexpected turn when I decided to explore the back lanes of MG Road. Little did I know that a chance encounter with a psychology student would open up a fascinating experience of face reading right there on the bustling streets. As I strolled down MG Road, absorbing the energy and chaos of the city, my attention was drawn to a student of psychology standing just after the Metro station. What caught my eye was a playful cardboard sign that boldly declared, "Myth: Psychologists can read faces. Fun Fact: Psychologists can actually read faces!" Intrigued and amused, I approached him, struck by the audacity of his endeavor. Leaning against an electric pole, he invited people from the street to get their faces read. It took courage to st
