Abstract

Human rights are essentially rights of the children. Every child has a basic right of survival, development and protection and full participation in the rubrics of holistic development of personality. The emerging right of child to explore the opportunity of accessing educational avenues and in order to protect from all forms of exploitative activities becomes significant to study. Millions of children are neglect and malnourished due to improper care by parents and community. The miserable conditions prevail in home and in the community where in these children are exposed to child abuse and exploitation in the society at large. As a result, their right to childhood is jeopardized and such a miserable and pitiable condition ultimately affects their physical and mental health. This is a also a gross violation of basic human rights. So much so, that the child labour , which is the most vulnerable group, are exposed to these physical and psychological conditions and work on the dhaba tea stalls and restaurant and sleep and die there as a result of negligence by the society and state.
