Mallige,

a member of Karnataka Janashakthi, said: "We are not happy with the policy The policy doesn't have any modern ideas in order to set youths as global citizens

Bringing up the policy before elections is a clear vote-bank game because a majority of youths are not aware of the policy and they don't know what the policy has for their empowerment ”

Youth Congress leader Mohd Nalapad did not respond to queries from The Observer Thippeswamy KT, a member of Karnataka Youth Policy, said: “The implementation of the policy has not started yet. The KYP is approved in the cabinet and a government order is being issued to the youth department This is the right time to empower youth It is high time we address them I think the main element in this policy is that there should be a separate Directorate for Youth Empowerment and Youth Sports The government has taken a U-turn in bifurcating the Karnataka Youth Empowerment and Sports Department

Malesh, member of Karnataka Youth Congress said: “KYP initiative is an election trick to get the votes of youths Already there are a few Swami Vivekananda Sanghas at the gram panchayat level which promise loans for the youth My question is, on what basis do they give loans?”

Asked what initiatives the Congress has for youths if it is voted to power this year, he answered: “The manufacturing sector should grow in order to create more jobs The focus should be shifted towards filling the current vacancies at present ”

Janardhana Kesargadde, programme lead of the Youth Work Promotion and Youth Rights Advocacy, explained: “The survey for the KPY draft policy was ineffective as they have not covered different areas related to youth development In the policy draft, one of the main focus was to have youth empowerment bodies at the panchyat and taluk levels We just have an Assistant Director at the district level The current youth department majorly focuses on sports ” hamsaveni n@iijnm org

Nagamani,

nodal coordinator, Child Rights Trust, shared: “Early pregnancy leads to health complications We talk to the girls about post-pregnancy and relationship issues and solutions to get out of them We rescue many girls After rescuing the girls, we send them to the Child Welfare Committee Girls who are married off early lose their childhood and their chance to get an education ”

As per a Times of India report in 2021, the government introduced a Bill in the Lok Sabha to amend the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act to raise the age of marriage for girls from 18 to 21 years

Nagamani said: “Even if the age at which girls get married changes, the mindsets and attitude of the society will not be changed We need to make our girls more aware about the laws and educate them first ”

CWC District Child Protection Officer Bharathi Devi refused to have a conversation with The Observer as she was attending an official function

Asha H K , Senior Assistant Director, Child Marriage Prohibi- tion Cell, Directorate of Women and Child Development Department (DWCD), said: “Some girls are married off early because their parents feel their daughters are a burden Some cases happen because parents do not want to give a portion of their property to their daughters, but most cases are of girls deciding to get married due to allurement by men ”

Cases of child marriage have risen in Karnataka because migrants from Bihar, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Kerala have settled down in Bengaluru and marry their young daughters in the capital city Karnataka has 58,522 child marriage prohibition officers We have launched a programme called Video on Wheels which shows inspiring stories of women, ” Asha said

As per data shared by DWCD, Bengaluru received 51 complaints in 2021-2022
