The National Policy for Children, 2013, explicitly defines a child as any person below the age of 18 years. This aligns with the definition of a child used in various international conventions like the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which India is a signatory to, and national laws like the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act.
Policies and laws in India generally define a child as a person up to the age of 18 years.
The National Policy for Children, 2013, is based on the principle that children are citizens of the nation and their needs must be addressed from a rights-based perspective. It outlines commitments across four key areas: Survival, Health and Nutrition; Education and Development; Protection; and Participation.
