NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION (Training Division) Subject: NHRC Guidelines on Training regarding Human Rights Introduction The National Human Rights Commission has been constituted in accordance with the provisions of Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.

Section 12 of the Act lays down the functions to be performed by the Commission.
As per Section 12 (h) of the Act, the Commission is mandated to “spread human rights literacy among various sections of society and promote awareness of the safeguards available for the protection of these rights through publications, the media, seminars and other available means.” As per Section 12 (i) of the Act, the Commission should encourage the efforts of non-governmental organizations and institutions working in the field of human rights.
Objective In keeping with the above mandate, the Training Division has been set up in the Commission to spread human rights literacy and sensitize people belonging to various sections of society on all aspects relating to human rights.
While the focus is necessarily on the public functionaries so that they are sensitized and motivated to fulfill their duties regarding protection of human rights of public at large, efforts are also required to target the youth especially, the students in the universities/colleges as well as those studying in schools so as to build a society fully aware of human rights issues.
Among the public functionaries, the police is the most important group as majority of the complaints of violation of human rights received in the Commission originate from this end.

The issues relating to human rights which are necessary to be stressed upon on the target group relate to both civil and political rights as well as the social, economic and cultural rights.
The Commission is concerned about the prevailing criminal justice system and the reforms needed in the area of police functioning so that the civil and political rights of people are better protected.

The system should provide for sufficient remedies against their violation.

The issues of importance in this area are rights of the prisoners, especially those under trial, custodial justice and prevention of custodial violence, fake encounters, pendency of cases in courts etc.
1 At the same time, the Commission is also concerned about the need for ensuring the basic needs of people so that they are not deprived of basic necessities like food, health, housing, sanitation and clean drinking water as well as a clean environment to ensure their proper development and quality of life.

There are also issues relating to the rights of special category of people who, for various reasons have been deprived of their rights and hence need extra protection.
These are the people belonging to SC/ST and other backward classes besides those to with disabilities or mentally ill persons.

Rights of the women and children need special protection and hence, the need for sensitization of public regarding the needs of these special groups.

Focus target groups In view of the above, the Commission, besides seeking to create human rights literacy among public at large, seeks to target the following groups of people for sensitization on human rights issues :- 1.

Police 2.

In-House Programmes The Commission will carry out these programmes directly by its own staff duly assisted by visiting faculty.
These programmes will be organized by the Commission staff, either within its own premises or at suitable venues arranged by it.

These could be in the form of: 2 Short Term Programmes Short term programmes of one to three day duration in the form of conferences/seminars/workshops/lectures may be organized in house in the Commission although one day programmes would be more common.
These could include programmes like orientation and sensitisation programmes for officers/staff of concerned Government Departments and NGOs working in the area of concern.

These programmes could also cover programmes for probationers of different civil/police/para-military services.

Long Term Programmes Long term programmes could be of one to four week duration.
These could combine both lecture series as well as practical exposure to the working of NHRC apart from institutions like prisons, mental institutions, credible NGOs etc.

regarding their 3 functioning and living conditions.

These would largely include internship programmes for students of universities/colleges.

These internship programmes are of two types which are as follows: Internship of one month duration conducted twice a year i.e.

For these programmes, applications from the students all over the country are invited and about 60 students are selected.

A stipend of Rs 8,000/- for students plus 2nd class train fare (to & fro) by shortest route from place of student studying is provided.
The prize money for best intern(s) is Rs.25,000/.

The Eligibility criteria for the above one month internship programmes in NHRC would continue to be as under : 1.

They are also made aware of the process of complaints being attended to by the Commission as well as other issues being taken up.

Allowing them interaction with the complainants also is an important feature.
