CHANK (Campaign for Healthy Adolescence Nurturing, Kozhikode), a programme of the Kozhikode District Panchayat to address the issues faced by teenagers, will be launched on November 14, Children’s Day.
The programme is part of the Educare project of the district panchayat and aims at creating awareness among children, teachers and parents about the issues of adolescence, health education and cyber security.
The programme is being implemented in 114 schools in the district, including government and aided schools. Doctors, counsellors and psychologists will carry out the programme in each school from November 14 to January 31, 2022.

“Judicial time is a valuable public resource. Every frivolous or misconceived invocation of constitutional jurisdiction results in diversion of time from genuinely deserving litigants,” said the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court while imposing a cost of ₹50,000 on a man from Theni district who filed a petition with an unusual prayer: permission to conduct daily protests till the ‘World War’ ends.
