Tuesday, May 29th, 2012 11:28:37 by Imran Shaukat KhanBollywood superstar, Aamir Khan, is hosting a TV serial ‘Satyamev Jayate’ which focuses on the social issues of the society. The actor started off by creating awareness among the people about the female foeticide. In the next episode he moved on to the issue of child abuse in the country and his efforts are being appreciated by almost everyone out there.
National Commission for Women’s chairperson, Mamta Sharma, has commended Khan as she believes the actor is doing a great job.
Sharma insisted in the seminar, which was organised by the NGO ‘Message’, that people have a great attraction for the star therefore other Bollywood celebrities should also come forward in order to highlight issues of the society,
“Aamir Khan began with the issue of female foeticide with special reference to Rajasthan. It is a good beginning because it helps in creating awareness,” she said at a seminar in Poornima engineering college in Sitapura area here.
“The government and NGO volunteers have also been making efforts to curb the social evil and their role is definitely prime, but celebrities have their attraction among people which really works,” she said.
In the meantime, Sharma revealed that the commission has launched a 24-hour helpline in Gujarat for women and it will be introduced soon in other cities like Haryana and Rajasthan.
The chairperson stated that these days a lot of complaints about the rape and suicide cases are coming up with the NCW and keeping these things in front what Aamir is doing is great.
The Chairperson of Poornima Group of Institutions, Dr S M Seth, was too present at the event and he emphasised upon the empowerment of women in each sector, especially in the remote areas of the country since he believes this thing will ensure the overall growth of the nation.
