Action for the Rights of the Child (ARC) was set up in 1991 to bring together NGOs, funding agencies, government departments and citizens involved in working with children from the marginalised sections of society in the city of Pune. ARC was conceived as an advocacy network for child rights. The initial agenda of the network was to maintain pressure on the government of India for the ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The government ratified UNCRC in the year 1992. Since then, ARC has been actively providing voice to the issues related to child labour, child education, child protection, and child participation, for the children in Pune.
ARC was also one of the founding members of the nation-wide Campaign Against Child Labour (CACL) which has had a large role to play in shaping policy and legislation around child labour.
ARC is focused on issues related to child labour, child education, child protection, and child participation. ARC tries to resolve the issues through networking of NGOs in the city, advocacy with the concerned government departments, and facilitating research and documentation for assessment of the situation and finding solutions to the issues.
