Is Corporal Punishment Or Raising Hands On A Child Legal In India?

Dear Sir, There are so many guidelines issued by NCERT etc. Please view the following Website. ================================= SCHOOL CHILDREN CORPORIAL PUNSHMENT HOW TO AVOID The guidelines issued by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) on eliminating corporal punishment in schools, elaborating the RTE's classification, defines corporal punishment not only as physical punishment but also mental harassment (defined as 'non-physical treatment that is detrimental to the academic and psychological well-being of a child' such as sarcasm, ridicule, calling names, derogatory remarks and so on) and discrimination (defined as prejudiced views and behaviour towards any child because of gender/caste/class). • Juvenile Justice Act, 2000 Section 23 of new Juvenile Justice Act, 2000 provides punishment for cruelty to juvenile or child. Whoever, having the actual charge of or control over, a juvenile or the child, assaults, abandons, exposes or willfully neglects the juvenile or causes or procures him to be assaulted, abandoned, exposed or neglected in a manner likely to cause such juvenile or the child unnecessarily mental or physical suffering shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months, or fine, or with both. • Lodge a complaint to nearest police station. Yes,punishment in schools is strictly prohibited and one can directly lodge a FIR against the teacher and rest police will work out.
