RESEARCH AND POLICY RESEARCH
The Research and Policy Research Division of the Institute aims to address data and evidence gaps in child protection, education, and health and nutrition through primary and secondary research, and public engagement and outreach.
In addition to the research work, the Division has taken the initiative to collaborate with universities for the purpose of dissemination of knowledge on all issues relating to child protection & development. Another integral component of this partnership is the establishment of the “Centre for Child Rights” in these universities. These Centers shall conduct Certificate, Diploma, Undergraduate and Postgraduate degree programmes as well as research on topics/themes relating to child protection, education, health and nutrition.
Amity University, SRM University, Assam University, BML Munjal University (Haryana) are a few among many universities with which MoUs have been signed for the purpose.
The division also works towards identifying gaps in policies, devises realistic solutions, drafts recommendations and takes up focused policy initiatives to ensure that the policy framework in the country serves the interests of children and their well-being. Studies conducted by the foundation and the support/suggestions provided to the Central and State Governments have helped in strengthening various child protection laws and policies, a few recent ones being the following:
The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Amendment) Act, 2019
Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Rules, 2020
National Tracking System for Missing and Vulnerable Children
Madhya Pradesh Juvenile Justice Rules,
