NEW DELHI: The government has laid down the procedure for rehabilitation of children who have lost their parents to Covid-19. In a public notice, the ministry of women and child development on Monday said people must refrain from engaging in or encouraging actions which are in contravention of legal provisions.
The ministry also made it clear that any person who wants to adopt an orphan child may approach Central Adoption Resource Authority (cara.nic.in) for “lawful adoptions”.
Listing out the procedure, the ministry said the child who has lost both parents to Covid-19 ought to be produced before the District Child Welfare Committee (CWC) within 24 hours.
“The CWC shall ascertain the immediate need of the child and pass appropriate orders for rehabilitation,” the ministry said.
