India Now Emerges As Child Friendly Nation: Report

Bangalore: It is indeed great news for the Indians as the country has emerged as a nation that extends full co-operation towards the welfare for the children. According to The South Asian Report on the Child-friendliness of Governments, India has worked the most for establishing and facilitating legal and policy framework for children within the country.

India is closely followed by countries like Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The new survey also stated that Maldives, Bhutan and Sri Lanka have scored high on factors like health, education and child protection outcomes including birth registration and child marriage.

“A gradual change is happening in South Asia, as governments are taking important steps to acknowledge and implement children’s human rights, often in collaboration with and influenced by a range of non-state actors,” said the report . It further stated that it is particularly effective in India and Bangladesh though the other governments have also taken some action.

The Report on the Child-friendliness of Governments is mainly carried out to find the efforts of the governments at fulfilling the obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The survey has been conducted by the South Asia Initiative to End Violence Against Children — a SAARC apex body.
