In a significant step towards eradicating child marriage and empowering young girls across the nation, the Ministry for Women and Child Development has launched the national campaign “Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat”. The Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat campaign calls on all citizens to actively oppose child marriage.
This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Women and Child Development and various other Ministries. CMPOs from districts across India is also a part of the initiative.
As part of the campaign, the Minister also inaugurated the Child Marriage Free Bharat Portal, an innovative online platform that enables citizens to report child marriage incidents, file complaints, and access information about Child Marriage Prohibition Officers (CMPOs) nationwide. The portal is a significant step in empowering citizens and enforcing the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006.
