National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Established under the 2005 Act, aims to safeguard children’s rights as per the Constitution and UN Convention on Child Rights. Monitors the enforcement of child-focused laws—like the Right to Education Act, Child Labour (Prohibition), and POCSO. It assesses policy impact, inspects child care institutions, and recommends actions against violators. NCPCR can summon documents, ensuring accountability among agencies handling children’s welfare. Though it cannot directly penalize offenders, it pushes for reforms and coordinates with state commissions. Widespread issues like child trafficking, malnutrition, and abuse make the NCPCR’s role pivotal in shaping a protective environment for India’s massive child population.
