CHILDLINE is the crucial link between children in need of care and protection and the available services. With the support of Ministry of Women & Child Development, Govt. of India, WOSCA has been facilitating two CHILDLINE Sub-centres at Banspal and Anandapur block for the children with different needs, who call in anytime, anywhere and for anything. Those Sub-centres act as onepoint contact which facilitates instant access to support, advice, active intervention or just a listening ear. CHILDLINE 1098 connects children in emergency on one end of the phone line to a well connected network of services. From the year 2015, total 1132 Orphan children have been rescued and out of the total 772 have been produced before CWC and 360 have been provided shelter, medical assistance and emotional support. In both the sub-centres, “Childline Se Dosti” week is observed each year with the presence of Block officials, CDPO, IIC, MO I/C, ICDS functionaries to disseminate the messages of CHILDLINE-1098 services.
