SSC (10th Class - 2010-2011) Table - 6.6 Mainstreamed Particulars of NCLP Children (for the year 2011-12) Executive Summary There is a remarkable reduction in the child labour engaged in wage employment particularly in rural areas. Similarly there is a significant increase in the percentage of children going to school education from 49.18 per cent in 1991 to 73.82 per cent in 2001. In the present study of 24 villages confirm that, out of school children has declined to bare minimum in rural areas. The proportion of children forced to accept hazardous nature of work is also getting declined. The rural areas improved significantly in view of improved educational infrastructure and employment opportunities. Andhra Pradesh was considered as Child Labour concentrated state in the country. In view of this, the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India has sanctioned NCLP schools to all the 23 districts, in a phased manner during 1995-1999. The dubious distinction of Andhra Pradesh having first rank with regard to size of Child Labour (1991) got declined to second by 2001. It is confirmed with the survey that, the child labour is not employed on permanent basis in agricultural activities. Child Labour is employed in agriculture, mostly for seasonal operations of agriculture. The Child Labour in present study areas is still involved in the following operations. In villages ¾ agriculture (own cultivation) ¾ processing of minor forest produce ¾ cotton cultivation operations ¾ cattle and goat rearing i In urban areas ¾ beedi rolling (girls) ¾ labeling and packaging ¾ collection of scrap materials ¾ hotel, restaurants, road side dabhas. ¾ domestic works ¾ brick kilnworks ¾ stone cutting ¾ Weaving and dying.

  • Child Welfare: a Critical Analysis of Some of the Socio-Legal Legislations in India
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 8, Ver. II (Aug. 2014), PP 54-60 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Child Welfare: A critical analysis of some of the socio-legal legislations in India Prof. Shilpa Khatri Babbar Sociology Professor at Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies, Delhi (Affiliated to Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi, India) Abstract: Children are a human resource, invaluable but vulnerable. It is very essential to enable their development in such a manner that they bloom with joy in an atmosphere of a caring society. Various social legislations in India, focusing on an environment for a full booming of this essential human resource have undergone a sea change: from a position where children were treated as non-entity and mere material objects to a position of human dignity where conscientious efforts have been made to not only make them free from exploitation and abuses but also enable them to develop their full potentiality with fair access to food, health, education and respect. This paper makes a critical analysis of the existent legislations on child labour, issues related to adoption and sexual abuse of children. Keywords: Adoption, Child Labour, Devadasis, Juvenile Justice, POCSO I. Introduction The Charter of Rights of Children (CRC) or the Geneva Declaration made by International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1924 was the first humanist effort to help their amelioration and to protect them against hazardous employment. Through a series of Recommendations and Conventions, the ILO had sensitized the public policy and influenced national policies especially against child labour.

  • Caste Discrimination in India IDSN Briefing Note · 2016
    IDSN briefing note · India 2016 Caste discrimination in India IDSN Briefing Note · 2016 Caste discrimination is a highly politicised and sensitive issue in India. Despite constitutional safeguards and special legislation for the protection of the country’s 201 million ‘scheduled castes’ (the official term for Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist Dalits), violations of their fundamental human rights continue on a massive scale. Key issues include access to justice and rising violence against Dalits, multiple discrimination against Dalit women, slavery and child labour, discrimination in education, untouchability and access to basic services including humanitarian aid, social and economic rights and shrinking space for Dalit human rights defenders. Access to justice and rising violence against Dalits The enduring failure of justice when it comes to protecting the rights of India’s 200 million Dalits is a key obstacle to ending caste discrimination and the structural hierarchies underpinning an entrenched discriminatory mind-set. A number of reports have been issued on the failure of the administration of justice to protect Dalits in India. Most recently the 2015 Equity Watch report “Access to Justice for Dalits in India”. The report, released by the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights (NCDHR), supported by Christian Aid and the European Union, finds that violence and atrocities against Dalits are rising in India and there is an urgent need to step up efforts to ensure justice for victims According to National Crimes Statistics presented in the report there has been a 19,4% increase in crimes against Dalits from the previous year. The number of cases registered under the Scheduled Caste (Dalits) and Scheduled Tribes (Adivasis) Prevention of Atrocities act has also risen every year since 2011, taking a leap in 2014 to 47,064 cases against 13,975 cases in 2013.

E-mail :[email protected] http:/facebook.com/cctjamnagar 1 | Page// Happy Children Project Chaitanya Trust. Background : India has the largest number of child labours under the age of 14 in the world. Although poverty is often cited as the cause underlying child labour, Other factors such as discrimination, social exclusion, as well as the lack of quality education or existing parents‟ attitudes and perceptions about child labour and the role and value of education need also to be considered. 60 per cent or more girls dropped out before completing their five years primary education. There are also concerns relating to teacher training, the quality of the curriculum, assessment of learning achievements and the efficiency of school management. Given the scarcity of quality schools, many children drop out before completing five years of primary education; many of those who stay on learn little. As per the report of “Annual Status of Education” 2012, 67 % of fifth standard student don‟t know to read 1 to 100, 52% student leave the school before fifth standard, 65 % of fifth standard student don‟t know how to multiply and 86 % of fifth standard student don‟t know how to division.
