PROTECTION AND PROMOTION OF CHILD RIGHT IN PRESENT STRUCTURE

‘Child right’ is not otherwise a separate or Independent subject than that of Human Rights. Further to judge scientifically and logically, it is too distinct to note that the Social conditions born out of the structural influence the total growth of children may be Physical or Intellectual or psychological .
In a class Society, the children of the poor parents, either farmer or worker or Artisan or any other being of scanty resource, never enjoy the child hood – lost child hood is theirs.
Such children begin their lives from early teen as laborer (whom we name to be child labour)rag pickers or at last as beggar and in case of a girl child, as a brother mate .This is all – that happens due to social conditions that not only shape the life of the child, rather his father from whom he has inherited the sufferings and exploitation.
To shorten the log concept and philosophy, we have to conclude that the structure’s all from of laws, policy, plan and programme ,ultimately the Indian constitution ,where there is no space for right to work, is the center of Origin of all these issue or problems .the derth of knowledge of social development process and contradiction leads our so called elite Organizations to prescribed remedies as such.
In the midst of such deplorable condition the children of poor mass are identified as the discrete group and to bring a change even within the preview of reformation either by International and National organization ,we have to go to the people-the common mass who can only frame their lot-through the approach and initiatives of VCRO, in the way of movement/action to care the hierarchy with a different / alternative shape.
To reach these goals , primarily a process of democratic struggle to initiate is of prior importance , since a full fledged democratic revolution has not yet been complete successfully in India which could have paved the basement for alternative structure. More over it is peculiar phenomenon dominant due to the mechanism by the upper class. That is unfortunate that the downtrodden mass is not class conscious since casteism and other negation vibrates in them. So, a democratic struggle should be given priority in the process of preparation.
