## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (DR. VIRENDRA KUMAR)

- (a): As per Section 2 (14) (vi) of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (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  'Specialised Adoption Agency' (SAA) means an institution  established  by  the  State  Government  or  by  a  voluntary  or non-governmental  organisation  and  recognized  under  section  65,  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) 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  Integrated  Child Protection  Scheme  (ICPS)  (now  '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). The State/UT-wise details of NGOs which are getting grants under  the  ICPS  for  maintenance  of  Child  Care  Institutions  (CCIs)  through  State Governments/UT Administrations concerned is at Annexure- I .

- (b): The Ministry releases  grants  under  ICPS to State Governments/UT Administrations which further release it to concerned NGOs. The details of the grants released to the States/UTs and Child  Line  India  Foundation  (CIF)  under  ICPS  during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current year is at Annexure- II .
- (c): As per Section 54 of JJ Act the State Government appoints inspection Committee consisting of  not  less  then  three  members  who  mandatorily  visit  all  institutions  atleast  once  in  three months and appropriate action on the report of Committee is taken by the State Government. The State Govt/UT has not reported misuse of the funds.
- (d) & (e): Does not arise.
