'Operation Mukti' campaign started in Uttarakhand

'Operation Mukti' campaign started in Uttarakhand

 For effective prevention of begging by children, to make public aware about not giving alms, to motivate children involved in begging for education and to take necessary action as per rules for their rehabilitation "Operation Mukti" campaign is being run for two months in all the districts of Uttarakhand from 01 August, 2022 till September 30, 2022,. The theme of the campaign is 'Don't beg, give education' and 'Support to educate a child'.

 Ashok Kumar, the Director General of Police, Uttarakhand, full of humanitarian sentiments, did an innovative experiment of "Operation Mukti" in the year 2017 in the police department to realize the slogan of friendship, service and security. He took the initiative to motivate the economically weak, destitute children to move on the path of education by removing them from the path of begging.

 This mission was named "Operation Mukti". Since then this campaign is being run continuously. Under the campaign, a total of 1430 children have been enrolled in schools/daycare homes by removing them from begging.
