Online portal “E-Baal Nidan” for redressal of grievances against violation of child rights revamped

About E-Baal Nidan portal:

  •  National Commission for Protection of Child Rights to fulfil its mandate and functions under Section 13 of the CPCR Act, 2005 had developed an online complaint mechanism “E-BaalNidan” in 2015.
  • It is an online portal,  wherein any person can register a complaint reporting about any violation committed against a child and after such registration, the complainant will get a complaint registration number.
  • Through this number, the progress of redressal of the complaint in the Commission can be tracked by the complainant.
  • The registration form is prepared in a way that all the aspects of a complaint can be enumerated and details can be provided by the complainant.
  • The details that are included in the form are the date of incidence, place of incidence, information about the victim, the authority, the nature and category of complaint, what action was initiated, etc.
  • The complaints so registered with the Commission are processed and dealt like any other complaint received by the Commission.
  • This online mechanism of reporting ensures that the complainant has the ease of making a complaint to the Commission through online mode without any costs.
  •  It makes the process of redressal of complaints transparent for the complainant and helps in timely disposal of cases by the Commission.
Some of the new features include:
  • Bifurcation of complaints based on the nature of the complaint into their subject matters like Juvenile Justice, POCSO, Labour, Education etc,
  • Internal monitoring and transfer of complaints in the Commission,
  • Tracking of complaints at every stage in a more mechanised and time bound manner.
