About the National Seminar

Today’s children are tomorrow’s leader. But where they will lead the future world is
depend on their present development. The emotional, social and physical
development of young children has a direct effect on their overall development and
on the adult they will become. That is why understanding the need to invest in very
young children is so important, so as to maximize their future well-being.
The society has always ratified the children rights and a privileged space in the
system but changing scenario of social accountability drifting the direction of child
development. Increasing incidents of child abuse may it emotional or physical, raising
the concern world over. There are child right protection laws and policies in every
country, UNICEF as an international agency also works to address these kind of issues
at world level by developing and implementing its program and policies to
strengthen child protection system and promoting positive social norms in all
contexts to prevent and respond to violence, exploitation and abuse directed at
children. Irony is despite so many laws and policies children are still at the verge of
danger and uncertainties.

terra cotta utensils and ancient coins displayed. There are many such locations which
can be seen in the neighboring areas and are very suitable for tourists having keen
interest in history. The remains found at Kalibanga (Pilibanga) in 1951 reveal that this
area was a part of nearly 5000 years old Indus Valley civilization. The fossils of human
skeleton, unknown scripts, stamps, coins, utensils, jewellery, toys, statues, wells,
bathrooms, fort, streets, markets etc., found in excavation tell the story of well
developed life style of our ancestors. Besides Kalibanga, more than 100 other places
are also there in the district where evidences of this old civilization have been found.
The remains found at these places have been kept at Museum at Kalibanga and
National Museum at New Delhi. Earlier, Hanumangarh was known as Bhatner. In year
1805, Maharaja Soorat Singh of Bikaner captured Bhatner after defeating Bhatis and
as the day of his victory was Tuesday (known as the day of God Hanuman), he named
Bhatner as Hanumangarh. Hanumangarh city guide is incomplete without a mention
of the Fort ‘Bhatner Durg’, one of the oldest and strongest Forts in India. It is also
known for Sila Mata Temple, Bhadrakali Temple and Brahmani Mata Temple.
