About The Book

Asha Bajpai’s "Child Rights in India: Law, Policy, and Practice" offers an insightful and comprehensive analysis of the evolving legal landscape surrounding child rights in India. In this fully revised third edition, Bajpai examines significant developments in law, policy, and child welfare practices, with a particular focus on India’s commitment to upholding the rights of children as recognized globally, especially post the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.

The book provides an in-depth examination of key legislations such as the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, and the National Food Security Act, 2013, reflecting how these laws aim to empower children and ensure their welfare. It not only analyzes statutory frameworks but also delves into how these laws are interpreted and enforced, supported by relevant court judgments and policy shifts.

In addition, the book highlights the crucial role of non-governmental organizations in advocating for legislative reforms, strengthening the voice of children within India’s legal and social systems. With this thoroughly updated edition, Bajpai presents a balanced integration of theory and practice, making the book essential reading for students, practitioners, and anyone interested in child rights and social justice.
