Guidelines Of Mission Vatsalya
The Ministry of Women & Child Development is the nodal Ministry for ensuring welfare of children.
This is envisaged to be accomplished by way of legislation, policy& schematic interventions along with coordination with other Ministries and Organizations.
The National Children Policy, (as revised in 2013), and the National Plan of Action for Children, 2016 laid down the policy framework for child welfare and protection.
The Indian Parliament has passed several landmark legislations in favor of children like the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2015, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act 2012, the Commissions for Protection of Child Rights Act, 2005, the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act, 2006 and the Right to Education Act 2009.
India is also a signatory to important international treaties i.e., the United Nations Convention on Rights of Child and the Hague convention on Adoption of children which mandate systemic development and strengthening of juvenile justice system in the country.
Mission Vatsalya is a roadmap to achieve development and child protection priorities aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
It lays emphasis on child rights, advocacy and awareness along with strengthening of the juvenile justice care and protection system with the motto to ‘leave no child behind’.
The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 provisions and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 form the basic framework for implementation of the Mission.
Prior to 2009-10, there were three schemes being implemented under the Ministry namely, i) Programme for Juvenile Justice for Children in need of care and protection, and Children in conflict with Law; ii) Integrated Programme for street children; and iii) Scheme for assistance to homes for children (Shishu Greh).
All the three schemes were incorporated in a single centrally sponsored scheme called the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS).
The ICPS was implemented by the Ministry since 2009-2010. The scheme was then renamed as “Child Protection Services” Scheme in 2017. The CPS Scheme has been now subsumed under Mission Vatsalya from 2021-22 onwards.
Vision
To secure a healthy & happy childhood for each and every child in India, ensure opportunities to enable them to discover their full potential and assist them in flourishing in all respects, in a sustained manner.
Mission Vatsalya promotes familybased non-institutional care of children in difficult circumstances based on the principle of institutionalization of children as a measure of last resort.
Mission
To foster a sensitive, supportive, and synchronized ecosystem for children as they transit different ages and stages of their development.
This is envisaged to be done by strengthening the institutional framework of child welfare and protection committees and the Statutory and Service delivery structures in all districts of the country.
While children in difficult circumstances are to be addressed by the Statutory and Service Delivery Structures, equal emphasis is to be given to issues around child welfare and protection at the community level integrated with the local development plans and corresponding budgets.
Thus, it is envisaged that the committees under the institutional framework will complement the Statutory and Service Delivery Structures in terms of advocacy, awareness generation, capacity building, and preventive measures to build a robust child friendly ecosystem in the community.
The Mission aims to:
Support and sustain Children in difficult circumstances;
ii) Develop context-based solutions for holistic development of children from varied backgrounds;
iii) Provide scope for encouraging innovative solutions;
iv) Cement convergent action.
Objectives
The key objectives of Mission Vatsalya are:
Prioritisation of children in the scheme of Administration keeping Centrality of the Child during all the activities and actions taken under the Mission.
Best interest of the Child while designing or delivering projects and programmes and to take affirmative action to ensure right to grow in happy family environment with strong social safety net to support families.

To strengthen child protection at family and community level, equip families and communities to identify risks and vulnerabilities affecting children, create and promote preventive measures to protect children from situations of vulnerability, risk and abuse.
Encourage private sector partnerships and interventions to support children within the framework of law.
