Abstract

Abstract Franklin D. Roosevelt once said that we may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future. To ensure that no child remains devoid of a good beginning in life the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child came into being in 1989. India, the second most populous country in the world and a signatory to the convention, could play a crucial role in helping the convention achieve its desired goals. The research paper begins with an attempt to trace the journey of child rights towards international recognition and makes a critical evaluation of various constitutional and legal mechanisms put in place by the Indian state to ensure its compliance with the convention.
