The Centre for Child and the Law (CCL), National Law School of India University, Bengaluru, in collaboration with Child Rights and You (CRY) and Forum for Crèches and Childcare Services (FORCES), organised a state-level consultation on Nutrition Governance and Child Care in Karnataka on August 30, 2025 at the NLSIU Training Centre. The hybrid consultation brought together civil society organisations, community women leaders, researchers, domain experts and practitioners to share insights and strategies for advancing early childcare, child rights and nutrition governance under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), 2013.
About the Consultation
The first session focussed on the Rights-Based Nutrition Governance Model being demonstrated in two Gram Panchayats of Ramanagara. CCL presented its findings from a baseline study, highlighting gaps in NFSA implementation and the need for stronger accountability and grievance redressal mechanisms. Community women leaders – including Gram Panchayat representatives, Self-Help Group (SHG) members, ASHA workers, and Kusinamane (crèche) caretakers – shared practical challenges in accessing entitlements and stressed the role of local participation in strengthening governance. CSO representatives added their experiences from other districts, underlining systemic issues and the scope for replicating the model across Karnataka.
The second session presented findings from a state-wide study on childcare models undertaken by CCL and FORCES. Alongside discussions on strengthening ICDS and expanding community-based crèches, a draft of the Karnataka State Food Security Rules was shared for advocacy and collective inputs. Participants also agreed to form a drafting committee for a proposed law on Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) for children under six years – a significant step towards institutionalising childcare rights in Karnataka. CSO partners and grassroots leaders enriched the discussion with their observations from the field. The consultation concluded with a Karnataka FORCES partners’ meeting, where members reaffirmed their commitment to collective advocacy for robust nutrition governance and quality childcare.
The consultation event generated a shared vision to advance rights-based approaches, deepen collaborations, and build a future roadmap for child nutrition and care in Karnataka.
Key Next Step
A drafting committee on ECCD was formed to prepare a law for children under six years, marking an important milestone for child rights in Karnataka.
Rashi Singhal, Academic Fellow at NLSIU, has been featured in an episode of the ‘All Things Policy’ podcast by Takshashila Institution. The podcast episode is titled ‘The Rise of FOSS in India.’
Abstract
Over the past decade, Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) has become a significant component of modern technology, powering a large percentage of software solutions used regularly. FOSS offers the ability to study, adapt, share, and re-use software without the constraints of proprietary licensing. Beyond cost savings, organisations across sectors like healthcare, education, finance, and IT are discovering deeper benefits such as reliability, security, flexibility, and even the chance to strengthen their own in-house technical capacity. In this episode of All Things Policy, Anwesha discusses the recent report titled ‘The Rise of FOSS in India: Empirical Evidence and Insights from Cross-Sectoral Case Studies,’ with co-author Rashi Singhal, Academic Fellow at NLSIU, where they cover key challenges and policy recommendations to support FOSS development.

A team of NLS faculty and students of the Master’s Programme in Public Policy (MPP) visited a Hakki Pikki settlement in Bannikuppe Village, Bengaluru, on August 20, 2025, as part of the voluntary outreach initiatives of the MPP programme. The visit aimed to engage with the Hakki Pikki community and understand their socio-economic conditions and explore issues related to inclusion and welfare.
The Hakki Pikki are a Scheduled Tribe and decriminalised community (formerly listed under the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871) who migrated from Northern India. The term “Hakki Pikki” translates to “bird catchers” in Kannada. During the rehabilitation drives of the 1950s and 1960s, the community was relocated from forests to the outskirts of urban areas in Karnataka.
Traditionally the community is known for their migratory livelihoods, traditional healing and trading practices. They are famous for their renowned knowledge of indigenous medicines and herbal products, particularly herbal oils and other Ayurvedic formulations. Some members of the community travel to African and Gulf countries in order to sell these herbal oils. Many families also make artificial garlands and decorations for sale in nearby cities. According to the 2011 Census, their population in Karnataka is 11,892 and they particularly reside in districts such as Davangere, Mysuru, Kolar, Hassan, and Shivmogga.
Reflections from the Visit
The activity was coordinated by second-year MPP students. They were involved in interactive discussions with community members and elected representatives, observations of local livelihood practices, and participated in informal group conversations. The team also spent time at the local primary government school (Classes 1–7) interacting with students and teachers. At present, there are only 30 students in total, and they are taught by three teachers across just three classrooms. The school runs from 10 am to 4 pm with a midday meal at 1 pm.
Nabeel Abdur Rahman, a second-year MPP student from West Bengal joined the visit to better understand how tribal communities navigate education and welfare. Reflecting on the school interaction, he remarked:
“We engaged with children from classes 5–7 who expressed their dreams of becoming doctors or police officers. At first, these seemed like predictable answers. However, discussions with Panchayat members revealed that rampant alcoholism was causing health issues, violence, and instability in the community. The children’s aspirations, therefore, stemmed from these lived experiences.”
Alaka Rajeev, a second-year MPP student from Kerala, motivated by her interest in the sociology of education, shared:
“There were very few children in the school, and teachers were finding it difficult to convince their parents to send their other children as well. One reason being linguistic barrier, that is the language of instruction is Kannada which was different from their mother tongue. This showed how cultural and linguistic gaps intersect with education access.”
The NLS community celebrated the 79th year of Independence on campus. The tricolour was hoisted by the University Vice-Chancellor Prof. (Dr.) Sudhir Krishnaswamy and our support staff member B. Jayaramu. To mark the occasion, the NLS Music Society put up a performance that had the crowd engaged, while Firdaus-e-Alfaaz, the student poetry collective at NLS, did a reading of two selected poems: ‘The Gift of India’ by Sarojini Naidu, and ‘Arunoday’ by Ramdhari Singh Dinkar.
Our faculty member Dr. Chandrabhan P Yadav delivered a brief message on the occasion:
“With several hindrances and limitations for the dream of liberty, equality and fraternity, Universities remain the site of possibilities. An utopia within the sight, not very far but realisable and achievable. In a socially and economically structured society of ours, we encounter a culturally, socially, and economically diverse set of people in the same space. One makes lifelong friendships, falls in love, and barriers of caste, class and region-religion seem to dissolve in the University. We encounter the fraternity in its closest possible forms. It gives us the opportunity to be socially mobile and the wheel in the national flag starts moving. On this day, we celebrate many such possibilities which Independence and self-rule gave to us.”
Bangalore Little Theatre’s Performance of The Prophet and the Poet
The Student Bar Association hosted a special Independence Day cultural programme on August 15, 2025, with a performance of ‘The Prophet and the Poet’ by Bangalore Little Theatre (BLT).
The Prophet and the Poet is based on the exchange of letters and essays between Mahatma Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore over a span of 25 years, set against the backdrop of India’s freedom movement. The correspondence, interwoven with imagined but historically grounded dialogue, highlights their profound differences in ideology, Gandhi’s faith-driven activism and Tagore’s expansive intellectual humanism, while also revealing the deep respect they held for one another. The script was developed within BLT’s Academy of Theatre Arts, based on archival research by Prof. Sabyasachi Bhattacharya and first compiled by Shailesh Parekh (later published as Gandhi vs Tagore by Visva Bharati, 2010). With its minimalist staging, the play emphasises the text and ideas of Gandhi and Tagore rather than direct impersonation, bringing to life the philosophical debates that shaped India’s freedom struggle.
Following the performance, there was a Q&A session where attendees interacted with the cast and director about the creative process, the historical debates at the heart of the play, and the continuing relevance of Gandhi and Tagore’s ideas today.
Maisaheb Dr. Savita Ambedkar Memorial Quiz
The NLS Quiz Club organised an informative quiz centring around the topic of India, leading up to the day of Independence. The quiz saw the participation of many first-time quizzers and even faculty. Prof. Vijayavargia used creative quiz formatting to ensure a pleasant experience for all participants.

About NLSIU
NLSIU was established in 1987 to be a pioneer in legal education. Over the last three decades the University has evolved as an innovative leader in law, social sciences, humanities, and public policy education and research in India. It has also been ranked first among the law universities in the National Institute Ranking Framework (NIRF) for the last seven years.
The draft proposal, which repeals the Karnataka Devadasi (Prohibition of Surrender) Act, 1982 and the Karnataka Devadasi (Prohibition of Surrender) (Amendment) Act, 2009, had been submitted to Department of Women and Child Development, Government of Karnataka for consideration by the Cabinet agenda.
The proposed law represents a holistic and rights-based strategy to dismantle the Devadasi system — an oppressive and illegal social practice still prevalent in parts of Karnataka despite historical bans.
About the Bill
The draft law reflects seven months of field research, consultation, discussion and dialogue initiated by the Talasamudaayagala Adhyayana Kendra at NLSIU in collaboration with Devadasi Community members, Government of Karnataka, NGOs, State universities and activists working for the empowerment and emancipation of the Devadasi community for erasing the Devadasi practice in its intent and practice. Students from the Master’s Programme in Public Policy (MPP) at NLSIU provided research support for the initiative.
More than 15,000 Devadasi women and community members participated during the district and taluk devadasi research consultations in the districts of Koppala, Raichur, Bellary, Bagalakote, Yadgiri, Gulbarga, Belgaum, Vijayapura, Dharwad, Haveri, Gadaga, Davanagere, Chitradurga, Shimoga, and Vijayanagara.
This legislation aspires to go beyond relief – to recognition, justice, accountability, and institutional transformation – laying the final foundation for the eradication of the Devadasi system in Karnataka.
Dr. Chandrashekar R. V., Coordinator, Drafting Committee, and Centre for the Study of Social Inclusion, NLSIU, said:
“Heartfelt congratulations to the Devadasi mothers and children who have tirelessly led this movement. Many organisations and subject matter experts have supported and guided us throughout this journey. Based on the collective input of all stakeholders, the 2025 Bill is now a step closer to reality.
This is a historic moment for Karnataka – a law truly made by the people. Unlike the traditional approach where laws are created and imposed by governments, experts, and researchers, this Bill was envisioned, shaped, and demanded by the people themselves. For the past eight years, Devadasi mothers, children-led groups, and allied organisations have worked relentlessly to make this happen.
Congratulations to everyone – those who have directly or indirectly contributed to this transformative process. Special thanks to the Chief Secretary Dr. Shamla Iqbal Department of Women and Child Welfare and all the officials who have worked continuously to bring this Bill to the Cabinet. We also extend our gratitude to those who supported and reported on this journey.
Thanks to the collective cooperation, encouragement, and support of so many, this law now stands on the threshold of implementation.
A sincere thanks to the Honourable Chief Minister of Karnataka Shri Siddaramaiah and the Chief Secretaries for supporting this people’s Bill to be brought forward for Cabinet discussion.”
Key Highlights of the Bill
1. Anchored in Constitutional and Social Justice Values
The Bill upholds the core constitutional principles of equality before law (Article 14), prohibition of discrimination (Article 15), and protection of human dignity (Article 21). It is aligned with Karnataka Government’s AHINDA vision, reaffirming the State’s duty to dismantle caste- and gender-based oppression through inclusive and rights-based governance.
2. Community-Led, Inclusive Legislative Process
Developed through an unprecedented participatory process led by Talasamudaayagala Adhyayana Kendra of National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bengaluru, the Bill integrates insights from over 15,000 Devadasi women, their children, and community leaders across 16 districts.
3. Prohibition and Criminalisation of the Devadasi System
Establishes strong legal safeguards to eliminate the Devadasi system in all its manifestations. Reinforces punitive measures while promoting preventive strategies through education and awareness.
4. Comprehensive Relief and Rehabilitation
Guarantees time-bound access to essential entitlements—healthcare, housing, education, pensions, and livelihood opportunities. Introduces Charters of Relief and institutional mechanisms at taluk, district, and state levels for effective implementation.
5. Protection of Children’s Rights
Ensures children born to Devadasi women can claim paternal identity, inheritance, and maintenance. Institutionalises safeguards against stigma and exclusion in public institutions.
6. Empowerment through Community Governance
Promotes democratic inclusion by institutionalising the participation of Devadasi women and youth in decision-making bodies and monitoring committees. Enables community ownership of implementation and accountability.
7. Accessible and Rights-Based Legal Design
The Bill is structured in community-friendly language and design, modelled on RTI principles, ensuring usability and awareness at the grassroots level. Recognizes Devadasi families as rights-holders, not passive recipients.
Evolution of Legal Framework
There has been an evolution in legal thinking from punitive to rights-based and participatory frameworks. The 2025 Bill has transformative potential in addressing structural, intergenerational injustices experienced by Devadasi women and their families. For a comparative analysis of the Karnataka Devadasi (Prevention, Prohibition, Relief, and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2025 vis-à-vis the earlier legislations—The Karnataka Devadasis (Prohibition of Dedication) Act, 1982 and its 2009 Amendment (Act 1 of 2010), read more.
