Imagine that you are Tehsildar. How would you prevent child marriages?

If I am a Tehsildar, I would have followed the following steps to prevent child labour:

• I would have arranged facilities to empower the girls with information, skills and provide them with support networks.

• I would have provided them with economic and supportive incentives to girls and their families so that they need not depend on any one else for their livelihood.

• Even the parents of the children should be educated about the bad effects of child marriages and this shall be promoted.

• The community members shall also be trained properly.

• The girl children will be provided with opportunities to enhance their access to high quality education.

• Also, I would see that the policies and laws would be implemented and followed properly.

• In order for the next generation of development programs to make ending child marriage a priority, I would make strategies while continuing to test innovative approaches and evaluation techniques.
