The chairperson of State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) Usha Negi has sent a letter to Uttrakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat in which she provided some suggestions and guidelines on various issues during the lockdown including complaints of parents against several private schools, school management and Education department.

 In her letter, she suggested that the government should collaborate with social workers to arrange online classes in an open area for the poor students who cannot afford smart phones, computers or internet.

According to her, the school management should also provide online psychological counselling to children in order to make their mind stable and calm during current crisis. Negi also suggested that all the schools should create a separate fund for situations like natural disasters or calamities so that finance would not be a problem during such crisis in future and the management would be able to pay its staff and manage the school fees of students.

 In one of the suggestion for the education department, Negi recommended that to motivate children to help and contribute to their State during hard times, they should be encouraged to donate as minimum as one rupee in CM Relief Fund so that they are motivated to become responsible citizens of the country.

The collected amount can be used for the education of poor children besides other educational purposes, added Negi. Apart from this, she has suggested several other guidelines to CM and requested him to consider the recommendations.
