Chandigarh, September 25 – Dr. Manisha Sharma, Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Panjab University, Chandigarh, today assumed charge as a non-official member of the Chandigarh Commission for Protection of Child Rights in the presence of Commission Chairperson Shipra Bansal.
Dr. Sharma has earlier served as the warden of Panjab University Girls’ Hostel, where she actively engaged with students and organized several seminars for their welfare and awareness. She has also been deeply involved in child rights initiatives. Notably, she is the niece of Nobel laureate and renowned child rights activist Kailash Satyarthi.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sharma said, “I have grown up watching my uncle dedicate his life to child rights and have learned a lot from his struggles. I have seen him face attacks from anti-social elements, but he never gave up. Inspired by his resolve, I too will work with the same spirit and always strive for the welfare of children. I sincerely thank Punjab Governor and UT Administrator Shri Gulab Chand Kataria for selecting me as a member, and I assure that I will work hard under his guidance and vision.”
