Hundreds of girls studying in high schools and junior colleges took an oath to put an end to social evils such as child marriages and child labour at the National Girl Child Day celebrations held in 42 villages of Bangarupalem mandal.
Child marriage is common in a majority of these villages, located atop hillocks or nestled in remote areas abutting the Tamil Nadu border, despite the best efforts of the government to eradicate it.
