Abstract
Our Country India is considered as the youthful Nation. In India more than 444 Million people belong from the age of 0 –18 years. Among which 253 Million of Indians are Adolescent belonging from the age of 10 – 19 years. Since, there is a huge population of people who are children. It is the fundamental duty of the Nation as well as of the State to protect the Rights of the Children. It is often said that the way children are nurtured and guided during their childhood shapes their future due to which it is considered very important to establish good habits among children by ensuring their all round development in all aspects of life in a sustainable environment. So that they could become highly successful in their life so that by making use of their potential children would be able to contribute in overall development of the Society. However, in Patriarchal Society children including girl child and orphans are highly exploited and discriminated incidents like killing of female child in mother’s womb, sexual molestations, child trafficking, kidnapping has been practiced in our Society so they suffer from different kinds of molestations and discrimination. There are many circumstances where justice has been denied to the children. Social evils like child marriage and child labor are still performed in the society. The main reasons behind such practices are lack of educational facilities available, lack of basic awareness, poverty etc. In order to solve such issues the Indian Legal System including the Constitutional Law of India tried to guarantee and protect basic fundamental rights and privileges of children by introducing several laws, rules and regulations. In spite of all these bits of the legal framework, there is still a scarcity which is prevailing; there are still challenges to be faced both in present and in the future.
