Tribal children in Maharashtra send postcards to the state Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, asking for free education for children up to the age of 18. The postcards are part of an awareness campaign organised by a tribal rights organisation. Officials from the organisation say the children write the postcards to directly communicate their demand to the Chief Minister.
Both reports describe the initiative as a child-led outreach effort aimed at highlighting the education needs of tribal communities. They also indicate that the campaign is intended to draw attention to policy concerns, specifically access to free schooling for older children within the 18-year age limit. The articles do not provide details on the number of postcards, the districts involved, or any response from the Chief Minister or the state government at the time of reporting.
Overall, the coverage is focused on the postcards as the mechanism of advocacy and on the stated demand for free education through age 18, presented by tribal children as part of a broader awareness effort.
