 Priyanka for girls’ education as UNICEF ambassador
Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra, who was on Tuesday appointed UNICEF ambassador, says she will work to uphold the cause for educating girls in the country.”I have always been conscious of my social responsibility. I love what I do and I don’t take up anything until I strongly feel about it. Working for children means a lot to me because when I visited girls in slums it educated me a lot,” Priyanka told reporters after her appointment.
”These girls are raising children when they are themselves kids. They are uneducated, malnourished and have no health awareness. To be able to give her basic education is what I will be working for as UNICEF ambassador,” the actor said.The actor, who recently launched her own website and is quite active on Twitter and Facebook, admits that she will use these portals as tools to create awareness among people. “Twitter and my website are going to be prominent parts of spreading the message. We are a youth driven country and we need a push. I have a huge number of people following me and I have a lot to say. They might not believe in me but at least they will listen to me,” Priyanka said.Priyanka believes that one has tostart from somewhere to represent the state of children’s rights in the country.
She said: “It’s difficult with such a population. But we need to be sensitised. It starts at home with your maid and her children,” she said.The 28-year-old joins industry veterans like Sharmila Tagore and Amitabh Bachchan, who also represent the UNICEF.”Priyanka Chopra is for UNICEF a symbol of youth. She will be working mainly on public service announcements for children. She will go on field visits against child marriage and work on maternal health for adolescents,” said Karen Hulshof, UNICEF representative. Priyanka Chopra has agreed to be the national green ambassador to initiate eco-friendly campaigns in India, Environment and Forests Minister Jairam Ramesh announced Monday.
“I have been talking to Priyanka about how she can be a part of environment friendly campaigns nationally and be involved with projects such as tiger conservation and river cleaning, especially the Ganga river. I have said that this would be like her public service,” Ramesh said at a press conference here. “She (Priyanka) has been very kind and has given her consent for it,” he added.
The 28-year-old actress is currently the green ambassador for NDTV-Toyota’s environment campaign Greenathon. She was also present at the event, which was organised to announce Green Awards which are aimed at encouraging and acknowledging people who contribute towards environment conservation. Dressed in a burnt orange dress, Priyanka said: “I will be very happy to do so.” Also present were Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) chief R.K. Pachauri, NDTV chairman Prannoy Roy and officials from Toyota. Pachauri told Priyanka: “You must be a part of the national movement for river cleaning, so that one day we can swim in the Ganga without any pollution.” Priyanka said it was small efforts by individuals that go a long way in keeping the surroundings clean and green.
