A two-day consultative meeting with stakeof Kaval, a flagship initiative of the Women and Child Development department for community-based rehabilitation of children in conflict with law (CCL), concluded here on Thursday with a call for addressing challenges that have emerged in recent times such as increasing drug addiction, mobile phone addiction and rise in screen time, abuse within homes, and psychological issues among children.
The meeting, organised by the department in association with the UNICEF, was aimed at addressing challenges that have emerged in implementing the project at the grassroots. It underlined the need for revised standard operating procedure and guidelines for Kaval and better coordination between stakeholders.
Kaval was rolled out in three districts in 2016, and extended across the State by 2018.
