Child Assistance Booths in Railway Stations Child assistance booths in railway stations details are following. Child Assistance Booth has been installed at the Tiruchi railway junction to rescue runaway and missing children. The setting up of the booth is a joint initiative of the Tiruchi Railway Division and two non-governmental organisations, Railway Children India and Sevai, , a famous Newspaper reported. The railway authorities have given space in a prominent spot on Platform No 1 for the booth at Tiruchi - a major station in Southern Railway zone. Tiruchi is the fourth railway station in the State where the booth has been established after Villupuram, Salem and Katpadi, said South India programme manager of Railway Children India. The NGO (Non-governmental organization : a non-profit organization that operates independently of any government, typically one whose purpose is to address a social or political issue) is based at Chennai. Managed by a team of five members from Sevai, working in shifts, the booth would function round-the-clock at the station. The objective behind setting up the booth was to rescue runaway and missing children and prevent trafficking of minors. The rescued children would be brought to the booth immediately to make them feel comfortable. Thereafter, the volunteers would attend to their immediate basic needs such as providing food and space for taking rest, said the authorities. Minors would feel more comfortable in such environment instead of being taken straight to the police station. The team managing the booth would interact with the rescued children to ascertain their whereabouts and produce minors before the Child Welfare Committee as per the mandated procedure to reunite with their parents, officials added, newspaper reported. In many cases, it was found that runaway children preferred train as a mode to get away from their homes since it provided them access to travel to longer destinations. Railway Children India had plans to set up an open shelter near the central bus stand at Tiruchi as a short stay home for the rescued runaway and missing children, as per the newspaper report. Railway also started many welfare scheme for women and children, including Janani Sewa Scheme, breastfeeding cabins, Shopping Facility at Railway Stations in Railway stations etc. https://twitter.com/serailwaykol/status/1420573035728306179?ref_srctwsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1420573035728306179%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_urlhttps%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Fquery%3Dhttps3A2F2Ftwitter.com2Fserailwaykol2Fstatus2F1420573035728306179widget%3DTweet Child Help Desks Set Up at Railway Stations of SCR help to Rescue 2940 children in the Last Three Years https://twitter.com/RailMinIndia/status/969368994850291712?ref_srctwsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E969368994850291712&ref_urlhttps%3A%2F%2Fpublish.twitter.com%2F%3Fquery%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ftwitter.com%252FRailMinIndia%252Fstatus%252F969368994850291712%26widget%3DTweet https://twitter.com/SCRailwayIndia/status/1143883731406426112 Back To Top ^ Baby Berth Introduced in TrainsOperation Meri Saheli by Indian RailwayBreast Feeding Cabins in Railway Stations
