As the children do not have any
forum through which they can raise their voice at different levels, so it helps
children to express them freely. They also formed Children's chain on various
issues in last phase had a very positive impact on media and other sections of
the society. To sensitise the administrative and government machinery on child
rights, children formed human chain on child rights issues. This human chain is

etc., and against exploitation of the children.
