Children’s Parliament in Kancheepuram District
During the month of March, 2014, a Children’s Parliament was formed in the Panchayat Union Primary and Middle Schools to monitor and follow-up the activities of the 12th Happy Move Camp (HMC). The 8 villages that the Children’s Parliament is to monitor are Ayyamicheri, Thiruvankaranai, Uthukadu, Echoor, Senthamangalam, Thenneri, Shingadivakkam and Melottivakkam in the Kancheepuram District of Tamil Nadu.
Four committees were formed to monitor:

The Children’s Parliament will not only cultivate the habit of keeping oneself healthy and hygienic, but also motivate other children and community members to do so as well.
