The NHRC acts as an independent institution tasked with addressing human rights violations in India and ensuring that the government remains accountable to its citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Role_and_Responsibilities_of_the_NHRC\"><\/span>Role and Responsibilities of the NHRC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHRC is responsible for investigating human rights violations, including issues related to custodial deaths, police brutality, child labor, and exploitation of marginalized groups. The commission has the authority to intervene in court proceedings, recommend actions against public officials, and provide relief to victims. It also works to educate and raise awareness about human rights through research and public outreach programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Structure_of_the_NHRC\"><\/span>Structure of the NHRC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHRC comprises a chairperson, typically a retired Chief Justice of India, and other members appointed by the President of India. The chairperson and members serve for a term of five years or until they reach the age of 70. The commission also includes a Secretary-General, who is responsible for its day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recent_Developments_Related_to_NHRC\"><\/span>Recent Developments Related to NHRC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, the NHRC has been proactive in addressing new challenges in human rights protection, including issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, migrant laborers&#8217; crisis, and cases of discrimination.

With an increasing number of human rights violations, the commission acts as a vital institution to ensure that cases of injustice are brought to light, especially those affecting marginalized sections of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Government_Accountability\"><\/span>Government Accountability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NHRC ensures that government agencies and officials remain accountable for their actions. It provides a legal framework for addressing grievances and gives voice to those who may otherwise be ignored, thereby promoting a culture of transparency and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Awareness_and_Education\"><\/span>Awareness and Education<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commission not only intervenes in cases of human rights violations but also educates the public about their rights.

The Indian Constitution, adopted in 1950, laid the foundation for safeguarding individual rights, but it wasn\u2019t until the enactment of the Protection of Human Rights Act in 1993 that a formal institution was established to monitor and protect these rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India\u2019s growing global presence and its adoption of international treaties, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, influenced the creation of the NHRC. Over the years, the NHRC has been instrumental in ensuring that human rights violations, especially those involving vulnerable groups like minorities, women, children, and the elderly, are addressed promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
