Abstract
Covid 19 has disrupted the lives of children in such a manner that it has not only lead them to confinement but has driven their rights too, to be confined. They are left with no signs of rising from the dust where they are forced to merge. The pandemic has multifaceted negative impacts upon them, be it in terms of education, health, food habits, awareness in all spheres and other mitigating demand for a fulfilling life. The protection of rights of the child has been the talk of the time since long. Despite the various national and international regimes enacted for the protection of the children in the country, there is a dearth of security and adequate safeguards when it comes to child care and protection. The paper examines some of the vital legislations and policies adopted nationally as well as internationally for the development of the children.The paper further analyses the circumstances of children after they are deprived of their rights conferred on them by various regimes. It focuses on the devastating long, short and medium effects on the lives of children, especially in the rural places and also depicts a detailed picture on the policies and programmes available to safeguard their rights and protect them from all sorts of violence and atrocities.
