Abstract

  The present article assesses the dynamics of Indian legislative system towards ensuring Right to health of children, since independence, through various legislative initiatives, making policies and launching programmes, so that a healthy, safe and secured environment can be build-up, which is required for physical, mental and psychological development of children. Although the term ‘Child’ is not specifically defined in the Indian Constitution and is depends upon the purpose and activity, but ensuring Right to Health, which is primary responsibility of every Government, for all children is always emphasized on priority. The legislative initiatives launched towards issues of health of children in different National Five-Year plans, since 1951, and different policies and programmes shows the priority and significance of the issues. It is evident from the discussion that the Indian legislature is serious regarding the health status of children.
