State Consultations

Various State Consultations were organised to bring the stakeholders from governmental and non-governmental organizations on a common platform to deliberate on the collective actions that could be taken to combat child marriage. This resulted in a state wise draft action plan and proactive engagement of the stakeholders towards ending child marriage in their respective states.

Stakeholders who took part in the consultations included District Magistrates, Superintendents of Police, members of State Legal Services Authorities, State Commissions for Protection of Child Rights, Police Department, Department of Women and Child Development, Child Welfare Committee, District Child Protection Unit, Department of Higher Education, Department of Social Defence, Department of Social Welfare, NGOs, and Survivor Leaders.
