Committees meant to tackle child abuse, marriages are stymied by lack of funds, awareness
SUBASHINI VIJAYAKUMAR @Chennai

THE village-level child protection committees (VLCPCs), established to tackle issues like child abuse, labour, and early marriage by identifying and supporting vulnerable children at the grassroots level, remain largely inactive across the state.

Child rights activists say that meetings are often either not held or conducted as a formality, resulting in little to no impact. This inactivity is attributed to insufficient funds, inadequate monitoring at the district and state levels and lack of awareness among committee members.
