PLEDGE FOR AN ABUSE FREE WORLD FOR CHILDREN’ I am proud to be an Indian. The great heritage and culture of my country always influences and gives me direction. It is my duty to be aware of the fundamental rights & duties and the Child Rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India. To live with self esteem and dignity is my fundamental right. I will not tolerate any type of abusive activities that occur anywhere against me as well as against other children who are my sisters and brothers. I will always be in the forefront to report any such instances to the parents, authorities and the police. This is my duty and responsibility. Since an abuse and exploitation free childhood and world is necessary for my future, I solemnly affirm that I will always stand for the same. Jai Hind!
