NIZAMABAD: Newly-elected president of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics district unit Suresh Jaju on Monday advised juvenile delinquents to mend their ways to lead a better life and become best citizens of country after their release from the observation home.

Launching a medical camp jointly organised by the IAP and the Indian Red Cross Society for the benefit of inmates of the Government Observation Home here, he suggested to the juvenile accused not to languish in the observation home by committing petty crimes at an age when they needed to concentrate on studies.

Amid thunderous applause IAP secretary N. Ramchander announced that henceforth his academy had decided to conduct regular medical examinations and distribute medicines free of cost to the inmates. Later, the doctors distributed sweets to boys.

IRCS executive member Bhalwan and Observation Home superintendent Anand were present.
