Besides,  the  National  Commission  for  Protection  of  Child Rights  (NCPCR) and State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCR) created as statutory  bodies  under  the  Commissions  for  Protection  of  Child  Rights  Act,  2005  (CPCR), oversee the implementation of the JJ Act in the country.

As per the information provided by the NCPCR, they have received 41 complaints relating to torture,  sexual  exploitation  and  violence  against  children  in  CCIs  including  Shelter  Homes during  the  last  three  years,  i.e.,  2017-18  to  2019-20.
