If a child is denied admission, beaten up or discriminated against, or his/her right is violated in any other manner, what will be the redressal mechanism?
One may assume that a number of complaints would be settled at the school and SMC level itself, through the intervention of civil society groups. If that does not happen, the next step would be for a complaint to be filed with the local authority. The complainant could appeal to the SCPCR (State Commission for Protection of Child Rights) if the action of the local authority does not redress the complaint satisfactorily.
