Universal Children's Day takes place annually on November 20. The day was first  proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly (UN) in 1954 and it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children.

Universal Children's Day is not simply a day to celebrate children for who they are, but to bring awareness to children around the globe that have succumbed to violence in forms of abuse, exploitation and discrimination.

To mark this special day, Bal Suraksha Abhiyan Trust (BSA) took the initiative to inaugurate Child Rights Protection Desk (CRPD) at Pudung Gram Panchayat on 20^th November 2014. CPRD will be a desk where anyone can approach to discuss the issues and address the problems related to children. BSA main objective in setting up this desk is to increase awareness & solve issues on Child Rights among community members in order to ensure that every child is protected and are able to enjoy their childhood. Any students / children from the community or concerned people can register their cases in this help desk and Child Protection Worker’s (CPW) from BSA will follow up with these cases.
