Challenges in Child Rights and Child Protection in India

Abstract

This paper emphasizes the necessity for an extensive approach by providing a consistent examination of the very complicated subject of child abuse, situations, and rights in India. Any nation's human resources are vital, and they can be strengthened through education, particularly by enhancing the foundational curriculum. Education is seen as the path that leads to personal growth and advancement. A child's whole growth depends on their family. A child's physical, psychological, and social development will be hampered by deprivation brought by the absence or carelessness of family during their early years. As the relevance of the nuclear family and communal living declines, kids are becoming more susceptible to the whims of the environment. The focus of policy talks in the sphere of child protection is the need for better alternative care that goes beyond institutional settings. This essay critically examines the laws now in place regarding child labor, adoption-related concerns, and child sexual assault. Notable instances include the Juvenile Justice Act, which offers protection and rehabilitation to children in legal difficulties, the (POCSO) Act, which addresses child’s rights and sexual abuse and exploitation, and the Right of Children to Education Act, which affirms that every child has the fundamental right to an education. In conclusion, a comprehensive strategy is needed to handle the intricate problems of children's liberties, status, & abuse in India. The government needs to keep up its efforts to efficiently put current regulations and laws into effect and enforce laws
