This article by Barry Pittard cites The International Save The Children Alliance, which states:
“For the first time, data on child abuse and neglect in India. A new report by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in India, supported by Save the Children and UNICEF ... reveals the extent and magnitude of child abuse and neglect in India. This is one of the world’s largest empirical, in-country studies covering nearly 12,500 children and 4800 young adults in 13 States.
The Study looks at three different forms of child abuse - physical abuse, sexual abuse and emotional abuse and girl child neglect in families, schools, work places, on the street and institutions. The Study complements the UN Secretary General’s Study on Violence against Children, 2006".
