Ayushmann Khurrana Praises Jalna Programme Protecting Migrant Workers’ Children

Some parents in Jalna travel to other places to find seasonal work.

Their children can stay with grandparents, relatives or trusted community members instead of migrating with them.

This helps children continue attending school.

UNICEF-trained volunteers called Balmitras help with education, food, health, play and emotional well-being.

Ayushmann Khurrana visited a school involved in this programme.

He praised the villagers and relatives for helping protect the children.

The programme has helped reduce school absences and dropouts.

Khurrana said protecting every child’s childhood is everyone’s responsibility.
