About ChildFundChildFund India works towards ensuring that children from the most marginalized sections of the society become able, confident, and responsible adults.
About the Project Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), especially at the Gram Panchayat level, are the closest tier of governance to children and therefore play a critical role in advancing child rights. Child-friendly local governance is both a principle and a practice through which local governments progressively realise these rights by ensuring children’s access to essential services and entitlements, health, nutrition, education, safe water, sanitation, protection from abuse and exploitation, and social protection. Achieving this requires a holistic, community-owned framework that strengthens prevention and early response systems. Such a framework actively engages children and youth clubs/Bal Panchayats, SHGs, parent groups, VLCWCs, SMCs, VHNSCs, Panchayats, and block-level stakeholders to ensure accountability and sustainability. Building community awareness and participation reduces vulnerabilities and promotes safer environments for children. Strengthening the Gram Panchayat Development Plan (GPDP) and Village Development Plan (VDP) processes is essential to institutionalise child-responsive governance. Integrating children’s needs and protection priorities into these plans improves local planning, resource allocation, and accountability. A coordinated approach across education, health, and protection systems further supports long-term child well-being. Empowered communities, supported by responsive local governance, can create resilient ecosystems where children can thrive. Recognising this, the Ministry of Panchayati Raj, under the localisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), has identified Child-Friendly Panchayats as Theme 3 among its nine thematic priorities.
