The Vice President of India Shri M. Hamid Ansari met a group of children in connection with International Children Broadcasting Day 2008 here today. He recorded an interactive session with them which will broadcast on 14th December. The children asked him questions ranging from his school days,food habits, hobbies, childhood memories to serious national problems such as low girl literacy and terrorism. They enjoyed every moment spent with the Vice President and were impressed with his humility and friendly behaviour with children. The Vice President stressed on the need for unity and integration in our society and wished the children bright future, success and happiness in life.

 

International Children Broadcasting Day is celebrated every year on the 2nd Sunday of the December month. The concept of celebrating this day was introduced by the UNICEF. The concept of having this day for the children is to let them have an opportunity to express themselves in the media. All India Radio celebrates this occasion by letting children interact with eminent personalities and organizes special programmes for them.
