Ms.Manjula Mahanthesh
Munavalli, 17 years, A first-year student at the RLS PU College in Dharwad,
hailing from a family of agriculturalists and is the daughter of Mahantesh and
Mahadevi from Ramapura in Dharwad taluk, Karnataka, has turned a celebrity of sorts overnight ever
since she was shortlisted to participate in the 66th pre-sessional working
group on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in
Geneva in Switzerland next week.
Manjula would address at the convention on Child
Abuse. She has been an advocate of child
rights for the past six years with the Karnataka Integrated Development Society
(KIDS), a non-governmental organisation (NGO) working with children. Manjula is
also a member of ‘Gubbacchi Goodu Makkala Mahasangha’, a group of various child
rights associations. At her village, Manjula achieved success in raising their
voices and making sure that the gram panchayat constructed roads and provided
regular supply of water to the residents of the village.
BEST WISHES TO MANJULA ON HER MAIDEN SPEECH!!
