- (b) : As per Section 2 (14) of JJ Act, a child who does not have parents and no one is willing to take care of, or whose parents have abandoned or surrendered him is included as a 'child in need of care and protection'. And as per Section 2 ( 57 ), of JJ Act, a 'SAAs' is an institution established by the State Government or by a voluntary or non-governmental organisation and recognized  under  section  65  by  the  State  Govt,  for  housing  orphans,  abandoned  and surrendered  children,  placed  there  by  order  of  the  Committee,  for  the  purpose  of  adoption. Further as per Regulation 58 of Adoption Regulation, 2017 all Child Care Institutions (CCIs)
- (c) : which are not recognized as SAAs shall have linkages with CCI in the district. The primary responsibility  in  execution  of  the  JJ  Act  lies  with  the  State  Governments.  However  Central Govt is executing a scheme namely Child Protection Services for providing financial assistance to  State  Governments/UT  Administrations,  on  sharing  pattern,  for  execution  of  the  Act  and with the objective to create a safe and secure environment for overall development of children in need of care and protection, which includes orphan/abandoned/surrendered children. Under 'Child  protection  Services',    financial  assistance  is  provided  to  State  Governments  /UT Administrations for setting up and managing Child Care Institutions (CCIs) by themselves or in association with Voluntary Organisations/Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). Details of funds released to the State Governments/UT administration under CPS reported by State/UTs  during  each  of  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year,  State/UT-wise  is  at Annexure-II .
- (d) :  The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has reported that it has registered  15  complaints  of  misbehavior/mismanagement in some CCIs  during the last three years and the current year 2018-19 (till June, 2018), State/UT-wise details is at Annexure-III.
- (d) &  (e):  No such suggestion have been received from the Govt. of Madhya Pradesh. However, in order to further improve and strengthen the condition of homes, the Government enacted JJ Act, 2015 by repealing JJ Act, 2000. Under the JJ Act, 2015 viz. several provisions have been included to improve the condition of Child Care Institutions (CCIs) inspections of these CCIs by  Juvenile  Justice  Board/Child  Welfare  Committee  on  monthly/fortnightly  basis  various rehabilitation  and  reintegration  services  including  skill  development,  recreational  facilities, mental health interventions, etc. Under Section 41 of the new Act, registration of institutions has been made mandatory with penalty in case of non-compliance. Under Section 54, the State Governments  are  required  to  appoint  inspection  Committees  for  the  State  and  district  for mandatory inspection of all facilities housing children, at least once in three months. Further Integrated  Child  Protection  Scheme  (ICPS)  was  started  by  Central  Govt.  during  2009  to provide financial support to the States/UTs, on sharing pattern, in execution of the JJ Act. The primary responsibility in execution of the JJ Act lies with the State Governments.
