Ambassador Steiner meets India's Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi
New Delhi, Nov 10 (IBNS) German Ambassador to India Michael Steiner hosted Indian Nobel Peace Prize laureate 2014 Kailash Satyarthi at his Residence on Monday.
Satyarthi is the Chairperson of the Global March Against Child Labour and Founder of the NGO Bachpan Bachao Andolan.
Ambassador Steiner said, “Mr. Satyarthi and his organization, Bachpan Bachao Andolan, fights for the rights of the poor, the weak and the innocent and changed the lives of many victims of child labour in India. He showed amazing personal commitment to this noble cause. He set an example of selfless devotion for the whole world! India can be proud of him.”
The Indian Nobel Peace Prize laureate has a long-standing partnership with the Robert-Bosch Foundation and was in Germany recently for its 50th anniversary celebrations.
Germany works actively in the field of empowering children and protecting them from being exploited worldwide. On behalf of the Federal Foreign Office, the German Embassy New Delhi funds about 60 projects that work on a rights-based approach.
Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 2014 jointly ‘for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education.’
