Faculty Coordinator: Mr. Ramakrishna Das P.R Assistant Professor, NLUO Senior Programme Coordinator: Mr. S. Kanniyaram Senior Research Associate : Mr. Promod Kishore Acharya Project Assistant: Mr. Soubhayga Nanda MESSAGE FROM THE VICE CHANCELLOR We are pleased to offer you the volume II, Issue I of Journal of Rights of the Child of National Law University Odisha with a special focus on “Child Labour”. Child is the inspiration and the aspiration of tomorrow .The issue of child labour is an important concern as it takes away their inherent right to development. When a child is asked or forced to do some work whether hazardous or not that interferes and deprives him of his childhood and hinders the activities like playing and studying will be termed as child labour. Childhood is a part of a human life and all the children have the right to have a decent living condition which includes right to education also guaranteed under Article.21A of the Constitution. Further, Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, also reminds the states upon its responsibility to provide free and compulsory education to the children. Despite of all these, children are still vulnerable and prone to child labour and thus, denying their right to education. There is a popular adage that “if a child is not in the school, he must be into child labour” NLUO is committed towards this triumph and thus, it is offering technical support to the labour department, Government of Odisha in the implementation of state plan of action for elimination of child labour in Odisha. The three main objectives of State Action Plan are , Complete elimination of child labour in all occupations ; achieve complete universalization of primary and elementary education along with universal prohibition of Child labour and rehabilitation and reintegration of all children withdrawn from work through education, nutrition, primary health care and skill training and socio-economic empowerment of their families. I hope and wish that the issues discussed in this journal will initiate further academic discussions on Child Labour. It is indeed appreciable that the important issues relating to the child labour have been selected for incorporation in the journal that can immensely help the readers to gain knowledge about the law of the land. I congratulate the Centre for Child Rights and the editorial team of Journal of Rights of the Child of National Law University Odishafor bringing out this special issue on child labour.

  • 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.

On the basis of an original study of the Delhi garments sector, this paper explores the evolving relationship between the nature and functioning of GPNs, the incidence of highly exploitative social and labour relations (including those associated with child labour), and the production and reproduction of chronic poverty and vulnerability.

  • Is Labour Law a Hindrance in India's Public Enterprises

STUDIA EKONOMICZNE NR 5 (83) 2016 Nalin BHARTI, Ph.D., Associate Professor (Economics) School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology Patna email: [email protected], [email protected] Gopal GANESH, Ph.D. Former adviser, 12th Finance Commission, former Member Secretary of the Disinvestment Commission and Retired IAS Officer, Government of India, New Delhi email: [email protected]. DOI: 10.15290/ose.2016.05.83.04 IS LABOUR LAW A HINDRANCE IN INDIA’S PUBLIC ENTERPRISES REFORMS? Summary With a growing dependency on the private participation across the globe, India also implemented the economic reforms process but these reforms have not been supported by any major amendments in the labour Laws though privatization of public enterprises, is one of the key issues in the ongoing economic reforms and India has a major workforce employed in the PEs. Global experiences in privatization appear to suggest that there should be a clear-cut privatization law, which will sustain the logic of what to privatize, how to privatize and for whom to privatize, but till today India has not even considered enacting such a law. The presence of old labour laws and the absence of a privatization law present a complex situation at the time of the second generation of economic reforms undertaken by India. This paper tries to investigate how the Indian Labour law is helpless in helping the labour and in protecting the larger interest of the PE’s reforms.

  • Who Trusts Local Human Rights Organizations? Evidence from Three World Regions
    HUMAN RIGHTS QUARTERLY Who Trusts Local Human Rights Organizations? Evidence from Three World Regions James Ron* & David Crow** ABSTRACT Local human rights organizations (LHROs) are crucial allies in international efforts to promote human rights. Without support from organized civil society, efforts by transnational human rights reformers would have little effect. Despite their importance, we have little systematic information on the correlates of public trust in LHROs. To fill this gap, we conducted key informant interviews with 233 human rights workers from sixty countries, and then administered a new Human Rights Perceptions Poll to represen- tative public samples in Mexico (n = 2,400), Morocco (n = 1,100), India (n = 1,680), and Colombia (n = 1,699). Our data reveal that popular trust in local rights groups is consistently associated with greater respondent familiarity with the rights discourse, actors, and organizations, along with greater skepticism toward state institutions and agents. The evidence fails to provide consistent, strong support for other commonly held expectations, however, including those about the effects of foreign funding, socioeconomic status, and transnational connections. I. INTRODUCTION Domestic civil society is a crucial player in international efforts to promote human rights. Without organized pressure “from below,” governments will rarely translate international human rights laws and commitments into mean- * James Ron holds the Harold E.
