## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

- (a) &  (b): As per Section 2 (14) (iv) of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act), a child  who  is  mentally  ill  or  mentally  or  physically  challenged  or  suffering  from  terminal  or  incurable disease, having no one to support or look after or having parents or guardians unfit to take care, if found so by the Juvenile Justice Board or the Child Welfare Committee is included as a 'child in need of care and protection' (CNCP), among others and Section 2(14) (vi) of the JJ Act, defines CNCP as ones who does  not  have  parents  and  no  one  is  willing  to  take  care  of,  or  whose  parents  have  abandoned  or surrendered him. The primary responsibility of execution of the Act lies with the State/UTs. As per the information provided by the State/UT Governments including Telangana, as on date, the number of Child Care Institutions (CCIs)  including children with special needs registered under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000/2015 in the country is at Annexure-I .

However,  Swadhar  Greh  Scheme  is  being  implemented  as  a  sub-scheme  of  the  Centrally Sponsored Umbrella Scheme 'Protection and Empowerment of Women'.  The State/UT-wise number of Homes under the Swadhar Greh Scheme is at Annexure-II.

- (c) & (d): Funds in the form of 'Grants-in-Aid' are provided by the Ministry of Women and Child Development to the States/UTs under Child Protection Services (CPS) scheme for CCIs. Additional financial support is given for the CCIs having children with special needs i.e. children who are either affected by substance abuse or who are mentally or physically challenged. The scheme provides for purchase of specialised equipments and materials like Psychological test materials, training materials for speech and language, teaching materials wheel chairs, crutches, etc. The fund sanctioned for the construction of such homes are  demand  driven  and  financial  assistance  is  provided  to  only  those  States/UTs  who  submits  their proposal  for  the  same.  Fund  sanctioned  and  utilized  during  the  last  three  years  and  the  current  year, State/UT-wise including Telengana which are being supported under the CPS is at Annexure-III.

The  funds  under  Swadhar  Greh  Scheme  are  being  released  through  State  Governments.  No funds have been sanctioned and utilized for construction of such homes during the last three years and the current year under this scheme. Most of the homes are functioning in rented buildings.
