Child rights is an important area of scholarship the world over and is gaining great significance as an area of research for the first decade of the 21st century. Protection of child rights is now considered an integral part of human rights. The author has critically examined the recent national and international initiatives, the present laws, court decisions, the recent amendments and the law reforms suggested by the law commission for setting an agenda towards protection of child rights and their empowerment.
