The Act and Rules made  thereunder  mandate  a  safety  net  of  service  delivery  structures  along  with institutional and non-institutional care for these children. All the States/UTs have been asked  to  ensure  immediate  action  for  care  and  protection  of  children  adversely impacted by COVID 19, in accordance with the provisions of the JJ Act 2015 and Rules thereunder. The  responsibility of the implementation  of  the  Act rests with the States/UTs. The State/UT-wise data of children living in Child Care Institutions, affected due to COVID   as on 23.07.2021, as intimated by the States/UTs,  is at Annexure-II.
