Child rights activist Achyuta Rao passed away due to COVID19 in Hyderabad.

Achyuta Rao was a member of State Committee for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR). His wife also worked there. He then founded Balala Hakkula Sangham – a child rights organisation.
The Balala Hakkula Sangham raised voice against child labour, child abuse and many issues. Among other events they also organize walks.
