2. Child Abuse statistics in India.

3. Health standard of Indian Children
●
●
●
●
India has 440 million children. Every fifth child in
the world is Indian.
About 27 million children are born each year in
India. But nearly 2 million of them do not live to the
age of five due to malnutrition.
Over 40% of the children who do live till 5 are
malnourished.
79% of children under 3 have anaemia. Half of
children have reduced learning capacity because of
iodine deficiency.

4. Education Scenario in India.
●
●
●
The majority of children are enrolled in school, but
up to half don't attend regularly.
After five years of classes, fewer than 60% can read
a short story or do simple arithmetic.
Many of the school-going children's education is
stopped mid-way due to monetary and social
problems.

5. Child labour in India.
●
●
●
Official figures indicate that there are over 12
million child workers in India, but many NGOs
reckon the real figure is up to 60 million.
The number of girls involved is not much lower than
the boys.
The largest numbers work in places like textile
factories, dhabas (roadside restaurants) and hotels,
or as domestic workers. Much of the work, such as
in firecracker or matchstick factories, can be
hazardous; even if not, conditions are often
appalling and simply rob kids of their childhood.

6. Child Abuse scenario in India.
●
●
●
Two thirds of children are victims of physical abuse.
The majority are beaten in school, and over half
have to work seven days a week.
Over 50% have faced some kind of sexual abuse,
and over 20% of them severe abuse.
Half of children also face emotional abuse.

7. What is being done??
●
●
●
By a law introduced in 2006, no child under 14
should work. But like many laws in India, the
problem is enforcement.
2 years after the ban, the Labour Ministry had
carried out 12,000 operations but only made 211
prosecutions.
In 2007 the Indian Government published the results
of one of the world's largest and most sophisticated
studies on child abuse, carried out in conjunction
with Unicef and Save the Children.

8. Possible solutions
●
●
The possible solution of the current child abuse
scenarios in India begins by firstly figuring out the
number of children at risk efficiently. After figuring
out the major at risk number,rehab work can be
carried on
However for the generations yet to be born an
effective monitoring system should be established.
The monitoring system will register every individual
new-born in the database and will then maintain a
separate identity for the particular child.

9. BAAL-ADHAAR SYSTEM.
●
●
The Baal-Adhaar or Juvenile-Adhaar approach can
be used for effectively tackling the problems of
child abuse in India.Under this system every child
shall be under Governments continous watch and
shall be monitored in terms of his progress till he is
adult.
The basic functioning of the Baal-Adhaar system
shall be in 3 basic steps:-
●
RECOGNITION
●
PROVISION OF FUNDS.
●
PROVISION OF EDUCATION.

10. RECOGNITION
●
●
●
The mechanism of the monitoring system can be
carried out just like the income tax monitoring
system carries out using PAN.
Every new-born child will be given a unique
registration and a separate database for this purpose
only will be maintained.
The data base will have to be constantly up-dated
by the gaurdians of the child and the updating shall
be enforced by the Govt. in a simillar fashion as the
income tax collections are made.

11. ●
●
●
Whenever a child-birth shall occur,the new-born
shall immediately will be registered as a new citizen
of The Indian Republic.
In the cases when the child is born outside any
proper medical facillity,registration of the child shall
be done on the ocassion of the first vaccination the
child recieves may it be polio,DPT etc.
In this way every new-born will come under Govt.
surveillance for the database.proper monitoring of
the child's progress can be done by the Govt. at all
stages under this scheme.

12. PROVISION OF FUNDS
●
●
●
Under this provision,every new-born child shall be
provided with a sum of money(initial capital) by his
gaurdians which shall be invested by the Govt. and
fixed for a minimum of 18 years of maturity.
The bond or money capital will be entitled to the
immediate gaurdian of the child and they shall only
have the power to add in funds in the bond not to
extract any from the funds.
In cases where no immediate gaurdians are
present(Orphans),the initial amount of capital shall
be provided by the Govt. itself and be handed-over
to the child when he shall be an adult.

13. ●
●
●
The provision of funds for the new-born child shall
be enforced by the Law and the parents under this
system shall be compelled to provide the initial
capital for the child.
The amount to be provided for the child's fund shall
depend upon the monetary condition and economic
stabillity of the parents.
In case the parents fail to provide the required
funds,the child shall be provided with an initial fund
by the Govt. itself in the form of a loan to the
parents.

14. ●
●
In this way,the people will be compelled to plan out
and better familly management shall prevail.
Thus every child born will automatically be entitled
to a certain sum of money which can be used for his
progress in future and will provide him with
economic stabillity.

15. PROVISION OF EDUCATION
●
●
●
●
Under the said scheme,the final step of the BAALADHAAR system shall be imposed.Along with the
new-born child's Govt. registration as an Indian
along with funds being entitled to him.
In this the concerned child shall immediately be
enrolled in a Govt. Public school automatically after
his registration in the scheme.
This will ensure the child's somewhat education in a
certain sure manner.
After enrollment the child's education shall be
undertaken by the 'SAR-SHIKSHAN ABHIYAAN'.

16. ●
●
●
●
After the child's enrollment ,his education can be
carried out either in a private or Govt. educational
institution.
However,the Govt. shall efficiently monitor the
child's educational progress at every stage until his
intermediate education.
Under this system a progress report of every child
will have to be submitted to the Govt. at every year's
end as a compulsory requirement.
In this way,every child's education can be monitored
by the Govt. efficiently and thus will combat
illiteracy,thus providing a better chance for the
country's children's education and stabillity.

17. CONCLUSION.
●
●
By the proposed system we can
take a step towards eradicating
child abuse in India.It is true that
there are already systems present in
India to achieve the tasks said but
it lacks proper enforcement and
implementation
By the system of BAALADHAAR the Govt. can achieve a
direct involvement in shaping the
country's children and thus can
efficiently strive to provide a
stable,healthy and self-dependant
future for the country's abused and
at-risk children
