The government and concerned agencies have expressed their commitment for the Nepal National Campaign to end child marriage. All three levels of government and concerned agencies have made a collective commitment for the child marriage free campaign launched with the slogan 'Investing in children: the beginning of a secure future'.

Government, child rights workers, rights activists and development partner organizations expressed their commitment in the interaction program organized by the National Child Rights Council (NCRC) in Lalitpur on Tuesday.

Minister for Women, Children and Senior Citizens Navalkishore Shah said that child marriage will not be solved by making a paper law. "Until there is coordination between the three levels of government, it is very difficult to implement any law," he said. Therefore, I have a clear opinion on this, until there is a coordinated policy at all three levels, it is not possible to be prosperous.

Bhuvan Ribhu, a child rights activist and the world activist and author of Just Right for Children, said that even though there are good laws for the welfare of children in Nepal, they have not been implemented . But now he said that all the people have gathered in this program to end child marriage. "Since child marriage is a crime, the time has come to implement its laws," he said, "Child marriage should be ended for the future of children." He also suggested ways to reduce child marriage if people of every society are aware of their marriage.

NCRC has started this campaign to make Nepal free from child marriage. On that occasion, Minister of Sports and Social Welfare of Madhesh Province, Pramod Kumar Jaiswal said that child marriage has taken root in Madhesh and it is necessary to reduce it. ; He says that there is a problem of child marriage in Madhes due to dowry. In this, he says, "As the age of the daughter increases, expenses increase and marriage at a young age is common." In the

program, Social Development Minister of Koshi Province, Panchkarna Rai, said that he is working by issuing periodic plans to eliminate child marriage. Minister of Social Development of Wagmati Province, Hariprabha Khadgi Shrestha said that union, state and local levels should work together to reduce child marriage. "For this, results can be given only if the local level is strengthened and strengthened," she said, "Child marriage can be reduced by making policies and procedures."

Similarly, Social Development Minister of Lumbini Province, Janmjay Timilsina said that work should be done to reduce child marriage based on need. Law, Justice and Human Rights Committee member Ranjukumari Jha said that even though the government has adopted a strategy to deal with child marriage, it is failing. She said, "The Constitution has thought about the best interests of children". But due to the lack of law, it is not working.'
