HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION IN INDIA

             India, the largest democracy in the world, is a big country with a lot of human rights challenges. If human rights are violated in India, the largest democracy in the world will be in danger. For the sake of democracy and sustainable development in India, human rights education in India is essential because knowledge of human rights is the best defence against their violation. The present paper highlights the importance of human rights education in India for effectively discharging the duty imposed on all Indian citizens by the various articles embodied in our constitution. The present paper focuses on the initiatives taken by the educational organisations in India like UGC, NCERT, NCTE etc for promoting human rights education in India and the challenges these organisations face in the successful completion of this great work. The paper concludes with some suggestive measures that should be taken as a part of educational programmes for making education an effective tool for elimination of human rights violations.
