BANGALORE: Unite for the eight million children who are out of school in India. It's Unicef's call to the Indians to work for the Right to Education Act. Terming the legislation a ground breaking one, the organization said it would be possible only if everybody plays a part. UNICEF is running a digital awareness campaign called Awaaz Do (http://www.facebook.com/l/5445c1Bc3B7-Y72r8JA_iDwplFg;www.awaazdo.in) to spread awareness about the legislation. Around 2 lakh people have become part of the campaign in the past three months, including Kapil Sibal, minister for human resource development. Corporates like Infosys and TCS and brands like Barista have already spread the word to its employees and customers respectively. The campaign is an urban movement and the website highlights the various aspects on what an ordinary person can do. CHALLENGES AHEAD The quality of education, infrastructure __ including toilets, drinking water, mid-day meals, play grounds and trained teachers would be the challenges. With a large population of children involved in child labour, migrants and tribal groups, the task is hurculean. Four states have notified the Act. "Unicef will not interfere in the negotiation between the Centre and state on the funds. But the funds for the programme is not only from the MHRD but will come from the tribal ministry and municipal corporation. We have identified that to build toilets for girls in all government schools in Maharashtra, it would cost just Rs 88 crore. The annual work plan has been made," said Urmila Sarkar, chief, education, Unicef India Country Office. http://www.facebook.com/l/5445cwkyJ8uWlhjNuLWYFo38Uyw;timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Raise-your-voice-for-right-to-education/articleshow/7279913.cms#ixzz1B34xn9eg
