India launches an ambitious 100-day nationwide campaign to end child marriage by 2030, marking one year of the Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat initiative. Led by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, this three-phase strategy has already prevented 100,000 child marriages and re-enrolled 630,000 girls in school. Child rights experts suggest India is approaching a historic tipping point, with unprecedented public participation and government commitment bringing the country closer to achieving what was once considered impossible.
