The community is encouraged to use this resource to report child abuse, exploitation, or any situation endangering a child's safety.
To clarify the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), the DSWO provided insights into this modern legal framework designed to streamline and improve India’s criminal justice system. Citizens are urged to familiarize themselves with their rights and the legal avenues available to them under the BNS.

These institutions offer legal aid, psychological support, and rehabilitation services to women in distress. The OSC provides integrated support and assistance to women affected by violence, making essential services more accessible.
Through community meetings, awareness camps, and door-to-door campaigns, the DSWO is ensuring that information about these schemes and services reaches every part of the district, particularly underserved and remote areas.
This outreach initiative by the Social Welfare Department enhances the community's understanding of essential services and strengthens the social welfare framework in Ramban. The DSWO's dedication and efforts underscore the district's commitment to the welfare and empowerment of its residents.
