To safeguard vulnerable children, Honda 2Wheelers India in collaboration with Railway Children India runs the 'Surakshit Bachpan' program. Through this initiative, we have showcased our commitment to save and protect children who are homeless and need support near railway stations of Delhi. The project also aims to create awareness on child protection issues at the railway's stations. We felicitated 28 officials of Railway Protection Force for their noteworthy effort in protecting children from, abuse and other risks at Delhi's railway's stations.

Impact Story
Mohan (name changed), a 14-year-old boy belongs to District North Dinajpur, West Bengal. He dropped out of school in 8th standard. He was found at Sarai Rohilla railway station by the outreach staff of Railway Children, India. Mohan shared that he was returning from the marriage of his cousin from Kishanganj, Bihar and was waiting for a train along with his mother and two brothers at Kishanganj Station. While waiting for the train, he fell asleep in the station and was separated from the family. He found no one around when he woke up. He immediately boarded a train without knowing the destination and landed at Sarai Rohilla Station. He further shared that his stepfather used to beat him regularly and he was forced by his stepfather to discontinue his study and work to earn a living. Mohan was angry with his stepfather and was not willing to go back home. He was counseled, offered food and a daily diary (DD) entry recording his specific case were done by the RPF at Sarai Rohila Station. Mohan was produced before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) on 7 February 2017 at Kingsway Camp. The CWC placed him at the Prayas Children's Home for Boys at Jahangirpuri, Delhi for his care, protection, and rehabilitation.
