Child Rights Protection Act and Relevant Concerns

HIMANSHU RANJAN BHUYAN

Children are the invaluable resource of the country and the pioneers of the future society. With infinite love, affection, proper supervision, proper education, guidance, etc., each child becomes a true human resource and shines by serving the country and the nation. In other words, the child born grows up in time to establish himself as a worthy citizen and is able to provide various services to society, take the lead in running the country or prove his worthiness in the international arena. Therefore, children are called the priceless resource of mankind. They should deserve all the good that the country and the nation can give. There are many ways to get away from these things. The half-hollow voices, slow walks, laughter, and movements of children of all nations in all countries of the world fill the nectar of heaven. Children do not understand violence, cheating, cunning, hypocrisy, narrowness, etc. They love beauty, the pure smile on the face of a child is full of pure purity. That is why children are called 'Devasishu' . These 'Devasishu' grow up and gradually enter childhood, adolescence and youth and shine as suitable human resources in the voting stars of the country.

Have the golden days of childhood of these children, who have made the world beautiful with their laughter and talk, full of such pure simplicity, been happy for everyone? In fact, many children are not being properly raised, which has become a sad issue in recent times. For various reasons, many children have to live with various problems in childhood. While they have to be in the loving arms of their parents, play with their peers, go to school and repeat their lessons, some children have to work hard to earn a living. They have to embrace unlimited suffering. Today, it is a common sight everywhere that many children carry sacks on their shoulders collecting waste bottles, tins, plastics, glasses, cans etc. along the roads. They wash dishes in hotels, clean chairs and tables, give beautiful sweets to all customers, decorate food made with meat and fish on the tables without having the opportunity to eat themselves, clean and paint shoes along the roads They have worked hard, worked as handymen on bus-trekkers, city buses, magic, etc. or lived as forest children in someone's house, cleaning, mopping, dishes, washing clothes, remembering their misfortunes to the children of the same age They are taken to school with tears in their eyes. They are sitting in the corner of the floor eating rice. In many cases, deprived of food, love, freedom, education, etc., such children are neglected and at some point engage in various anti-social activities. It is a big question when these scenes will end, when all children will get their rights and benefits, when all children will have the same cute smile.

It has been seen that the developed countries of the world have taken scientific measures to achieve physical and mental development of children in their respective countries and have provided financial assistance and better facilities to children through various welfare programmes. As a result, children in such countries have access to all the opportunities and facilities needed by children in the modern world. In contrast, in the Third World or poor countries, children are forced to endure unlimited suffering instead of the joys of childhood. It is also worth thinking about the extent to which the welfare of the children of the poor in our country, India, has been achieved. In fact, although the Government of our country has taken measures for the welfare of children, there is still much to be done to successfully implement those schemes and plans. Economically vulnerable children are usually victims of various problems such as malnutrition, lack of health care, diseases, forced labour, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, caste and religious discrimination etc. In addition, many children are victims of physical, mental and sexual exploitation. The survey conducted by the Ministry of Women and Child Development of the Union Government revealed that such abuse and torture of children takes place in birthplaces, schools, hostels, children's homes, public places etc. This is a sad picture of the children of our country who are considered to be the future of the country.

The United Nations Charter on the Rights of the Child was adopted in 1989 to ensure that no child is subjected to any form of abuse and ill-treatment and that every child enjoys all the rights of the child without hindrance. The Charter is signed by more than 190 countries around the world. Our country, India, also decided to follow every clause of this Charter in 1992, which makes the Government of India committed to ensure that every child in our country has the right to security, development, life and participation. This commitment has the potential to bring a smile to the faces of children in various vulnerable situations in the country.

Every child is born naturally and must develop comprehensively to know the world, to understand himself, to manage his responsibilities throughout life properly and for this purpose the child shall enjoy the above rights. This is the birthright of the child. Therefore, the Government's commitment to ensure the rights of children has provided opportunities for children to enjoy certain rights in addition to their general rights. Those rights are:

? The right to be protected from all forms of violence and exploitation. Any adult willingly Do not injure children. Parents or teachers should not be too emotional and hurt them mentally or physically. Instead, they will remain responsible for protecting them from all forms of violence, neglect and exploitation.

? Every child has the right to live together with his or her parents, siblings, grandparents and to have a family life.

? Every child also has the right to express their opinion and adults have their  responsibility to care.

? All children have the right to receive a primary education to contribute to their overall development and become responsible citizens.

In fact, the needs are immense for children. This need gives rise to the rights of children. These are the rights that every society, every government needs to protect. The Child Rights Protection Commission Act, 2005 has been passed in India to protect the rights of children. This commission monitors the proper implementation of programs related to the rights of the child. It will take any case related to violation of child rights and register it independently and investigate and give necessary advice to the government will get

The powers and functions of the Commission for the Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005 are as follows:

? To examine and review the provisions relating to the protection of the rights of the child provided under or by any existing law and to make appropriate recommendations for their implementation. To submit periodic reports to the State Government on the implementation of child protection measures as per the facilities of the Commission.

? To conduct immediate investigations into violations of any rights of the child and to recommend action to be taken in such cases.

? Elements that interfere with children's rights, such as terrorism, communal violence, insurgency, natural

? To examine the aspects of care and security to be given or received by suffering children, children suffering from backwardness, children involved in child or juvenile delinquency, children without families, children in prison and to give directions on appropriate measures to be taken.

? To conduct publicity among different sections of the society through media, seminars, awareness raising and other means on the implementation of children's rights and to take measures to make the rights of the child

 In addition to this Act, another Act passed by the Central Government for the protection of children is the 'Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act,  The purpose of this Act is to protect all children under the age of eight from sexual harassment and pornography  This can protect children from all forms of sexual offenses and punish the perpetrators  In this case, the abused child should inform family members, trusted friends or call 1094 to provide details  You can report the incident to the local police station or the Special Juvenile Police Unit in the district  The police officer is required to record the details of the incident and arrange for the victim to be examined by a doctor and taken on bail before a magistrate

In fact, all children have the birthright to have a beautiful and safe childhood. Every child should have a beautiful, happy and safe childhood, with the opportunity and facilities to grow up with dignity and without discrimination. The Commission for the Protection of Child Rights in our State was formed on 4th March 2005 and issued a notification on 3rd December 2013 to celebrate 'Child Protection Day' on 4th March every year. This is considered to be the first and most significant initiative in the country. Significantly, the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, in a letter dated 3 December 1949, stated about the rights of children: "Our country India is a big country and each of us has something to do for the country As children of India, each of you has the right to have a beautiful, happy childhood and enjoy all the other rights you have.”
