In line with the spirit of the Rule 81 of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Model Amendment Rules, 2022 (Transfer and Repatriation of Child), the Commission has prepared  Protocol  for  Restoration  and  Repatriation  of  children  and  GHAR  (Go  Home  and Reunite) portal. The portal has been developed to digitally monitor and track the restoration and repatriation of children according to the protocol. The main features of this portal are as under:

- i. Digital tracking and monitoring of children who are in the JJ system and have to be repatriated to another Country/ State/District.
- ii. Digital transfer of cases of children to the concerned JJB/CWC or SCPS of the State. It helps in speedy repatriation of children.
- iii. Where there is requirement of a translator / interpreter / expert, request is made to the State where that language is spoken.
- iv. CWCs  can  ensure  proper  restoration  and  rehabilitation  of  children  by  digitally monitoring the progress of the case of the child.
- v. A checklist  format  is  provided  in  the  forms  so  that  children  who  are  stuck  due  to various reasons in a place or children who are not getting their entitled compensation or other monetary benefits can be identified.
- vi. List  of  Government  implemented  schemes  is  provided  so  that  at  the  time  of restoration the CWCs can link the child with the schemes to strengthen the family and ensure that child remains with his/her family.

The  State  UT-wise  number  of  children  registered  and  repatriated  on  the  portal  is  given  at Annexure-I (Table-I & II respectively). The list of States/UTs that are implementing these protocols is given at Annexure-II .
