Children from Hyderabad engage in the ‘Hyderabad City Children Parliament’ to discuss sustainable urban solutions and community issues.
Children from different parts of Hyderabad participated in the ‘Hyderabad City Children Parliament’, organised with the theme ‘Sustainable Cities and Communities’ (SDG 11) in the context of the city. It was organised by Montfort Social Institute (MSI) on Sunday (February 8, 2026).
The children spoke on issues such as air pollution, waste management, cybersecurity, disaster management, women’s safety, loss of public spaces and parks, affordable housing, and overall urban sustainability. They shared real-life experiences from their neighbourhoods and proposed child-centred solutions, as per a press note. The “Parliament” passed resolutions to address the issues.
CEO of Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP), Telangana, Divya Devarajan, virtually addressed the children, encouraging them to continue engaging with governance processes and community development. Noted academic and human rights activist, G. Haragopal, addressed the gathering and appreciated the critical thinking and civic engagement demonstrated by the child parliamentarians.

There is honest error. And there is something called persisting in an honest error either out of ignorance or maverick indifference. One assumes, and fervently hopes, ignorance is the reason Sir Eric Conran-Smith is assuming a nom de guerre at the drop of a quintessentially British bowler hat. On a Greater Chennai Corporation name board for a famous road in Gopalapuram, he goes under “Conron Smith”. If disguise is the objective, that is a weak attempt at it. A few paces into this road and a turn later, he gets better at the game, morphing into Kandran Smith, a name board for a lane off Conran Smith Road hilariously carrying ‘Kandran Smith Lane’.
