CHILD WELFARE IN INDIA
The genesis of Child Welfare was a document drafted by Eglantyne Jebb, founder of Save the Children, in 1919. The ‘Declaration of the Rights of the Child’ serves as a precursor to the globally ratified United Nations Convention
- Jebb’s vision to see no child deprived of their childhood gave rise to Bal Raksha Bharat in 1919.
- The association between Bal Raksha Bharat and India, however, was forged when Mahatma Gandhi signed Jebb’s ‘Declaration of the Rights of the Child’ in 1931.
- Later, in 1991, to become an ethical labour market to international organisations, India formally consented the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Children in 1992.
- The Convention originated from Jebb’s desire to end the suffering of children, by providing them with a healthy, happy, and safe environment that nurtured them physically, mentally, and emotionally.
