National Law University Odisha, is organizing the 9th Conference of the International Society for Child Indicators (ISCI) on the theme of “Global Childhoods: Critical Perspectives Promoting Theoretical, Empirical and Policy Understandings” on 14-16 February 2024 in Bhubaneswar, India.

The 9th ISCI International Conference will focus on three aspects. Firstly, there will be critical analyses of whether government policies and programs have succeeded in promoting the wellbeing of children. Secondly, there will be an assessment of the rate of progress in Odisha, India and other countries in terms of the SDG goals to be achieved by 2030. Thirdly, there will be deliberations on changes in policies and programs for better results by incorporating the voices of children in consonance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child recognising the Right of Participation of children relating to decisions affecting them. In most countries, this right exists mostly on paper and children are rarely involved in any law, policy decision, scheme, etc. affecting them.
