Claim: 1098 child helpline announced by PM Modi.
Fact-check: 'CHILDLINE' (1098) helpline was started nearly two decades ago, not recently by PM Modi. - FACTLY
Verdict: the child help line  was started nearly two decades ago as a field action project at tiss. currently, the childline india foundation  is the mother ngo for managing this helpline and gets funded under the child protection services by the ministry of women and child development. so, an already existing helpline is being promoted as something pm modi has recently announced. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
