The primary responsibility of execution of the Act lies with the States/UTs.

The primary responsibility of implementation of the scheme lies with the State Governments/UT Administrations.

Under  the  provisions  of  the  CPS,  Central  Government  is  providing  financial assistance to the States/UTs for undertaking  a situational analysis of children in difficult  circumstances.  Under  the  scheme  institutional  care  to  CNCP  (including orphan)  and  Children  in  Conflict  with  Law  is  provided  in  Child  Care  Institutions (CCIs).

The details of children who have benefited under CPS scheme as informed by the States/UTs during 2018-19 is Annexed .
