According to The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 under Section 2 (35), “A child who is below the age of 18 years”. It can be defined as a child who has not attained a certain age at which he should be treated like an adult under the law of the land and cannot be held legally answerable for his criminal acts. The Juvenile Justice System is designed to respond to the needs of young persons who have been convicted for a crime and their rehabilitation with reforms. Main objective of the Juvenile Justice System is “to provide and preventive treatment services for children and young persons and then secondarily rehabilitation and improved socialization”. The profile of children in India reveals that a majority of them are living in conditions of want, deprived of basic survival, subsistence, and developmental opportunities. High rates of child mortality, school dropouts, child labour, handicapped children, and the problem of juvenile delinquency are indicators of the need for intervention by the state. Through social welfare programmes and the Juvenile Justice System, states have undertaken the responsibility of ensuring developmental opportunities to children living in conditions of want and showing Signs of social maladjustment. The conference aims at mind provoking panel discussion sessions by eloquent speakers, providing knowledge and sharing their vision and experiences on the subject.
