The Andhra Pradesh State Commission for Protection of Child Rights is launching a special operation to rescue child labourers and reunite missing children with their families. The initiative involves collaboration between multiple government departments and includes a focus on the psychological impact of social media on children.
Why it matters
This reflects a proactive state-level effort to address systemic child exploitation and the emerging challenges of digital influence on youth.
