Comprehension Passage

Read the passage and answer the following questions:

The Right to Education (RTE) Act which came into effect in April 2010 mandates that the implementation of the rights enshrined in this Act be monitored by National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) and the corresponding State Commissions for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCRs) (section 31). This is a radical new feature and set a precedent in the legislative history of India, wherein an autonomous neutral body has been charged with monitoring the implementation of a fundamental right. It present a great opportunity to institute a system of independent monitoring that ensures that the entitlements guaranteed in the Constitution are indeed being provided to the rights holders. At the same time it poses a huge challenge as it involves building a system that is able to receive feedback from the last child and respond to it in a manner that ensures the rights are indeed protected. It is worth pointing out here that grievance redressal and monitoring while separate functions are interdependent. In other words, the absence of a grievance redressal system implies that monitoring in a rights framework would necessarily entail intervention of the judiciary. A well managed grievance redressal mechanism on the other hand allows for monitoring to be effective through interaction with the system rather than the judiciary. This means that for SSA to function effectively in the era of RTE, it will need to develop links with both the grievance redressal as well as monitoring structures mandated under the Act.

In this paragraph, the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has been best referred as:

1
Central body
2
Automatic body 
3
Neutral body
4
Judicial body
