Strengthening Child Safety in Arunachal Pradesh

The East Siang District Police’s launch of “Project Muskaan” marks a meaningful step towards building a safer, more supportive environment for children across Arunachal Pradesh. By promoting child safety awareness, strengthening trust between police and students, and establishing clear systems to prevent, report, and respond to abuse or exploitation, the initiative addresses a critical social responsibility shared by every community.

Children, especially in remote and interior areas, often face unique challenges such as limited access to information, hesitation in reporting abuse, and a lack of structured support systems. Project Muskaan seeks to bridge these gaps by educating children about their rights, personal safety, and the importance of speaking up, while also fostering a friendly and approachable image of the police so children feel safe seeking help.
