National Child Rights Commission rescues over 3800 children from child labour
Further, over 575 FIRs have been registered during the special “Pan-India Rescue and Rehabilitation” campaign
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has successfully rescued over 3,800 children from child labour through a nationwide campaign launched in June. This initiative, known as "Pan-India Rescue and Rehabilitation," aimed to identify, rescue, and rehabilitate children engaged in labour exploitation and at risk of trafficking.
The campaign, which lasted from June 12 to August 31, involved close coordination with state governments, union territory administrations, district magistrates, labour departments, police authorities, and other stakeholders. The NCPCR also issued communications to relevant authorities, urging them to intensify rescue operations in identified hotspots and submit regular data on rescue activities, rehabilitation measures, and follow-ups.
To ensure smooth implementation, the commission held meetings with district administrations to address operational challenges and strengthen coordination. Additionally, the NCPCR used social media and other communication platforms to raise awareness about the campaign and the importance of rehabilitation and educational mainstreaming for rescued children.
The sustained efforts led to the rescue of 3,800 children and the registration of 575 FIRs, highlighting the significant impact of the campaign.
