The Centre for Child Rights, National law University Odisha has been publishing a bi-annual journal with specific focus on child rights. Two volumes were published in the year 2017. After verification, the title as Journal of Rights of the Child of National Law University Odisha has been approved by the RNI. However, title registration is currently under the process of RNI.
Although, the title registration is under consideration of Government of India, the Centre was able to bring out two volumes successfully and it was because of the enthusiastic responses from academia. This year, the Editorial Board of the journal decided to invite scholarly papers, book reviews, case comments, movie reviews on issues relating to children, which may include but not limited to child rights, child abuse, child exploitation, violence against children, etc. The journal welcomes any theme relating to welfare of children and child rights.
