Panchkula (Haryana), March 8 (IANS) Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar launched a campaign on Sunday to spread awareness about child rights which will have vans touring nearly 300 villages across the state, screening animated films on the subject.
The campaign, 'Yes, children have rights', would involve the video vans touring villages in Hisar, Sirsa and Fatehabad districts among the total 21 districts in the state.
The campaign has been initiated by NGO Save the Children in collaboration with the women and child development department of Haryana.

The campaign will lay emphasis on education, protection, equity and respect being the primary rights of children.
The campaign will be launched in 550 villages of neighbouring Punjab soon.
