Children are the builder of the Nation. They are the greatest national asset and resource. In recent years, the Juvenile Delinquency is the breaking news of the media. Delinquent behaviour has assumed serious forms among the juveniles, which is a sign of sick society. Juvenile delinquency is a big breading centre of criminals. Delinquency is an act or conduct of a juvenile which is socially undesirable. Juvenile delinquency generally means the failure of children to meet certain obligations expected from them by the society. Therefore, children being an important asset, every effort should be made to provide them equal opportunities for development so that they become robust citizens physically fit, mentally alert and morally healthy endowed with the skills and motivations needed by the society.
