JJ Act is very effective was in need, CWC is formed for the welfare of child in need care and protection under this act, Also giving good result all over the country, It is really satisfactory when we rescue or restore a child to the family, I do feel proud to be a part of it, we also have solved hundreds of cases in last four months- vikas dodrajka , cwc , chaibasa, jharkhand
Child welfare committee is established since 2 years back, some Distt in punjab need to reconstruct the CWC. Chairperson of CWC is not active at Ludhiana. Bachpan bachao Andolan is very active in Ludhiana so that in Ludhiana no child home is established, when bba rescued child labourers CWC send child’s to ropar child home…big problem to send children to ropar…kindly reconstruct CWC Ludhiana committee & members are aware on child rights, every time touch with children…
