Speaking in this regard, the District SP said that teachers should be determined to achieve higher goals in the life of students by increasing social consciousness. He said that it is the teacher who spends most time with the children along with the parents, so we should keep an eye on their mentality from time to time. Everyone should be aware of the laws of the children. He said that the Telangana state government has made many laws for the protection of the children. Children talk to their parents and tell the teachers in the schools, so we all should create a safe environment for them. He said that it is the responsibility of all of us.The role of school authority under POCSO laws is very important. In today’s modern age, in the order of development of science and technology, ‘social media’ is contributing so much to the exchange of information. Although there is a need for social media in the modern world, it is suggested that children should be taught to be mature and wise in their use. He said that if there is a dangerous situation, how to face them and how to solve them should be made aware. He said that the police would be available 24 hours a day and provide reassurance to the victims. He said that CC cameras should be installed in every school and similarly a complaint box should be set up in schools to report the problems and difficulties of the students.He said that awareness programs on good touch and bad touch are always being organized by the district she team. Schools should form compliance committees with school principal, lady teacher and lady students.There is a difference between teaching staff and non-teaching staff in schools, and it is the teachers who make the students better.
