Patang successfully conducted the Panel Discussion and Pitching Session for the Children Wallet Programme 2025–26. A total of 41 children from four villages—Runipali, Saradhapali, Nalichuan, and Lehunipadar—participated in the session. The children confidently presented key issues from their respective villages before the panel, seeking support and collaboration for meaningful change.
The esteemed panel included Mr. Tarun from the DSWO Office, a representative from Bheden Block (PEO), one SMC member, one parent, and Mr. Rishabh, Mr. Jasobanta, and Mr. Sibaji. Additionally, five team members and four volunteers were present throughout the session.
It was truly a wonderful and inspiring day. The children not only shared their concerns with confidence but also thoughtfully connected them to broader community issues. They proposed practical solutions and strongly advocated for the utilization of Children Wallet funds for the greater public good.
Some of the key issues highlighted during the discussion included:
1. Lack of library facilities
2. Cleanliness and sanitation concerns
3. Limited sports infrastructure
4. Environmental issues
5. Health concerns of children
6. The use of alcohol in the villages
The session clearly reflected the children’s strong sense of ownership, awareness, leadership, and collective responsibility toward improving their communities.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Sibaji for joining us and sharing valuable suggestions. Special thanks to Ms. Nani for her continuous guidance and support, and for making this enriching experience possible. We also sincerely thank Mr. Jasobanta, Ms. Dikhya, and Mr. Rishabh for their consistent support.
Our deep appreciation goes to all the volunteers for their unwavering support, and to the entire team for making this session a success.
Thank you once again, everyone.
