India gives priority to the well being of children and is committed to the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child since its adoption by the United Nations, Lok Sabha speaker Meira Kumar said Tuesday during a discussion in Geneva.
"India accords a very high priority for the well being of children and considers their issues with due diligence," the speaker said during a panel discussion on The Role of Parliaments in Protecting the Rights of Children in Geneva.
