Welcome to Online Course on 'Basics on Child Protection'

The composition of the population of India reveals that India possesses the largest population of children if we make a comparison with other countries of the world. As per Census 2011, there are 472 million children in India under the age of 18 years, they represent 39 percent of the total population of the country. Since the child in any society lacks experience, level of understanding and information about do’s and don’ts, his/her protection becomes an important issue world over.
