Children are the future of a country. They bring the development & prosperity to the country. But as we all know that the children are the most vulnerable part of the society & can be easily targeted. In India we have enacted many laws & Acts related to Children in order to protect them & to give them a better & sound development.
There are many Acts enacted in India for the protection children rights:
-Indian Constitution
-The Factories Act, 1948.
-The Probation of Offenders Act, 1959.
-The Child Labour Act, 1986.
-The Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1986.
-The Juvenile Justice Act, 2000.
-The Pre- Conception & Pre- Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of S*x Selection) Act, 2002 and many others.
There are some national institute or organisation for protection of children:
-National Policy for Children (NCP),
-National Institute of public Co-operation & Child Development (NIPCCD),
-The Integrated Child Development Services are polices made by Government.

The increased crime rate against the children, even after enacting so many laws & implementing them, has raised an alarming concern all over the world as children are being misused for fulfilling some people’s illegal purposes. So along with various laws, it is also our social responsibility to take care of the children & to protect their rights
