    Hon'ble Chief Minister, Government of Jharkhand, Mr. Raghubar Das, Nobel Peace Laureate Mr. Kailash Satyarthi and Chairperson, NCPCR, Mr. Priyank Kanoongo releasing the key findings of the survey report during the public dialogue organized by KSCF for “Child Labour Free MICA” The survey conducted by NCPCR on “Education and Wellbeing of Children in MICA Mining Areas of Jharkhand & Bihar” was supported by the Kailash Satyarthi Children's Foundation (KSCF). KSCF has been working in those areas since 2005 and have made approximately 300 habitations completely child labour free with 100% enrollment. Government of Jharkhand & KSCF signs MoU for “Child Labour Free Mica” and “Child Friendly Jharkhand” Article 39 (f) of the Constitution of India “That children are given opportunities and facilities to develop in a healthy manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity and that childhood and youth are protected against exploitation and against moral and material abandonment.” 2 | P a g e PREFACE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Constitution of India guarantees Fundamental Rights to all children in the country and empowers the State to make special provisions for them for their protection and development. The State is responsible for ensuring that childhood is protected from exploitation and deprivation. The Government has accordingly made laws, policies, plans and programs to this effect. Children at work are a socio-economic issue. However, Government of India stands committed to the elimination of child labour in the country. Constitution of India provides for protection of children from involvement in economic activities and vocations unsuited to their age. Enactment of Child Labour (Prohibition and Prevention) Amendment Act, 2016 is a landmark step in the Endeavour to have a child labour free society that provides for complete prohibition on employment of children below 14 years in all occupations and processes and prohibits employment of adolescents (14-18 years) in hazardous occupations and processes.

As news media plays an important role in shaping people’s preferences and policy outcomes, it is luring for the rich to use it to their advantage (Petrova, 2008). The vast persuasive power of news media enthralls all: be it governments (Enikolopov, Petrova, & Zhuravskaya, 2011), non-government organizations (Zhang & Swartz, 2009), or business corporations (Gambaro & Puglisi, 2010; Reuter & Zitzewitz, 2006), each uses news media for furthering their causes (Schudson, 2003, pp. 16-32). Unfortunately, in economies with weak democratic institutions, the rich and the powerful use news media’s power of indoctrination of beliefs through selective or inaccurate information to further propel themselves up the ladder (Mcmillan & Zoido, 2004); in effect, deepening the inequality. Cross-institutional reality monitoring is a decisive feature of any society and news media plays a critical role in this monitoring process (Johnson, 1998, 2007).

  • PRI Elections in Jharkhand: Making Women Count
    38 PRI Elections in Jharkhand: Making Women Count SHACHI SETH Taking their place as representatives in PRIs, women in villages take the first step to strengthening rural populations by fighting for their rights and working towards development, self-sufficiency and equality As the oldest system of local governance in the nation, Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) have held a traditional stronghold in the village life of India. Chiefly regarded as the space for conflict resolution and maintenance of order at the village level, these institutions were the receptacles of the Gandhian dream of Swaraj, or self- governance. As India embraced modernity in its institutions, PRIs were moulded to fit an agenda that went beyond mere arbitration and guidance. PRIs have undergone changes in terms of the process of choosing members, their duties and roles. In the current socio-political context, the chief objective of democratic states is development. Institutions of local governance, therefore, become crucial for addressing issues of the rural population, especially as decentralization becomes a buzzword in search of good governance. In Jharkhand, Panchayati Raj elections were held for the first time in 2011 although the state was formed in 2000. There was a surge in political participation by women and 56 per cent of the seats were won by women. The number of victorious women exceeded the 50 per cent that is reserved for them—a sign of encouragement for those working to better their lives. 39 The second elections, the results citizens, and to make choices The workshops of which were declared recently that benefit the community in conducted by PRADAN (2015), became an impetus the long run.
