*Chandigarh, November 14 * The bright light of Jugnu, a wall newspaper,
is spreading far and wide. Four student reporters of the newspaper have
been invited for a UNICEF-sponsored conference of young reporters being
held in New Delhi from November 19 to 21.
The students of Bapu Dham Colony bring out this first-of-its-kind
monthly wall newspaper. The selected students include Poonam, Ravinder,
Shailender and Ganga Kumar, who study in classes IX and X. While Poonam
and Ravinder are students of Government Model High School, Sector 26,
Shailender and Ganga study in Government High School, Bapu Dham.
The newspaper was launched by Yuvsatta, an NGO, in June this year with
an aim of empowering children living in the slums and channelising their
energy in a positive direction. The parents of most of the children are
daily wagers.
