Reformer or Mad ?
It is generally agreed that children are the future generation, the leaders of tomorrow and the potential flag bearers of any nation. To carry out duties, the child, therefore, has certain rights that must be protected and not be trampled upon or denied. In recognition of the socio-cultural and educational dimension of the child, the United Nations, European Union, UNICEF and Indian government joined efforts in advancing the protection of the right and well-being of children. Among other provisions, UNICEF and the Indian National Policy on Children grant following rights, these rights are universal and cannot deny:
- Protection against indecent and inhuman treatment like abuse and neglect
- Provision of a conducive environment to promote early stimulation to learning for the child
- Entitlement of every child (male/female) to receive compulsory primary education and equal opportunity for higher education
- Provisions of child-friendly principles/rules in all relevant institutions.
The hostel warden must charge for physical and emotional abuse of the child, and viswa Bharti (Institution) is responsible for the neglect of ensuring an abuse-free environment in their campus.
