- (a) to  (c):    Sub-section  (1)  of  Section  (41)  the  Juvenile  Justice  (Care  and  Protection  of Children) Act, 2015 requires that all Child Care Institutions (CCIs) whether run by State  Government  or  by  voluntary  or  non-governmental  organisations  shall  be registered  under  the  Act.  This  further  provides  that  the  institutions  having  valid registrations under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 shall  be  deemed  to  be  registered  under  the  Act.  The  primary  responsibility  of registrations  as  well  as  effective  functioning  of  the  CCIs  vests  with  the  State Governments/UT  Administrations  concerned.  However,  a  mapping  and  review exercise was undertaken through Childline India Foundation (CIF) and the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) to understand the registration and  status of Institutions vis-à-vis the norms and standards prescribed under the JJ Act  (2000/2015)  across  the  country.    CIF  has  submitted  the  final  data  for  9589 number of homes mapped and reviewed across the country. Accordingly, ministry has requested  to  all  the  State  Govt./UTs  vide  letter  dated  10 th March,  4 th May  and  1 st December,  2017  respectively,  to  ensure  registration  and  appropriate  action  for rehabilitation of children in need of care and protection. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India vide its Order dated 5 th May, 2017 on Writ Petition (C) No.102 of 2007 has also  directed  that  all  unregistered  CCIs  be  registered  by  31 st December,  2017. Accordingly,  as  stated,  the  State  Governments/UTs  have  been  requested  to  ensure registration  of  all  CCIs  either  run  by  State  Government  or  by  voluntary  or  nongovernmental  organizations.  As  per  the  information  provided  by  the  State/UT Governments,  as  on  date,  the  number  of  Child  Care  Institutions  (CCIs)  registered under the  Juvenile Justice  (Care  and  Protection  of  Children)  Act,  2000/2015  in  the country alongwith the number of children residing in these institutions and which are being supported under the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS), is Annexed.
