## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act, 2015) (as amended in 2021) (Section 109) provides the National Commission for Protection  of  Child  Rights  (NCPCR)  at  National  level  and  State  Commission  for Protection  of  Child  Rights  (SCPCR)  at  State  level  respectively  to  monitor  the implementation of the Act.

As  informed  by  National  Commission  for  Protection  of  Child  Rights  (NCPCR), NCPCR had conducted social audit of all Child Care Institutions (CCIs) across the country in compliance to the Hon'ble Supreme Court's order dated 05.05.2017 in the matter of W. P. (Crl.) 102 of 2007 in Re. Exploitation of children in orphanages in State of Tamil Nadu Vs. Union of India. The National Report was submitted to the Hon'ble  Supreme  Court  on  06.03.2020  in  the  aforesaid  court  case  and  also to the Ministry of Women and Child Development, GOI for further necessary action on the violations made out in the social audit reports. These reports and deficiencies found during the social audit in each CCI were also provided to respective District Magistrates for their necessary action.

Further,  NCPCR  has  also developed  an  applicationMASI-Monitoring  App  for Seamless Inspection -for real time monitoring of the Child Care Institutions (CCIs) and their inspection mechanism across the country. The effective and efficient functioning of the mechanism for inspection of Child Care Institutions provided under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act, 2015) (as amended in 2021) and synchronous monitoring of the system is the rationale behind developing this comprehensive application. The app is linked to the monitoring Portal where the automatic reports get generated. MASI App enables unified inspections by  Child  Welfare  Committees  (CWCs),  State  Inspection  Committees,  District Inspection  Committees,  Members  of  Juvenile  Justice  Boards  (JJBs)  and  State Commissions for Protection of Child Rights (SCPCRs) as laid down under the JJ Act, 2015. It serves as a single platform for inspections of all the CCIs across the country by  any  of  the  above  stated  authorities.  As  on  20.12.2023,  total 5347 inspections have been conducted of MASI App.

The  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  issued  various  advisories  to  all States/UTs  for  registration  of  Child  Care  Institutions  (CCIs)  in  accordance  with Section 41 of the JJ Act and also against those institutions which are not complying with  the  requirement,  ensuring  that  basic  amenities  and  facilities  are  provided  to children in CCIs as enshrined under JJ Act, 2015 and rules there under.

State-wise funds released and utilized by States under Mission Vatsalya Scheme (erstwhile  Child  Protection Services Scheme) during the last four years including Andhra Pradesh is at Annexure-I.

(d) & (e) : No such instance has been reported in the Ministry.
