Q. With reference to the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), consider the following statements:
1.It regulates child labour laws in India.
2.It derives its mandate from the Constitution of India.
Which of the statement(s) given above is/are correct?
Answer: D
Notes:
Explanation –
Statements 1 and 2 are incorrect. The NCPCR does not regulate child labour laws directly. Instead, it functions primarily as a recommendatory body that reviews and examines safeguards under existing laws for the protection of child rights and recommends measures for their effective implementation. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) derives its mandate from the Commission for Protection of Child Rights (CPCR) Act, 2005, which is a statutory act rather than a constitutional provision.
