Such young adults are the state’s responsibility until they turn 21.
This is a reassuring policy, but only in name. More than a 27 per cent
had not received any form of aftercare and 44 per cent were not
consulted in their care and rehabilitation planning, in September 2018
report of the Jena Committee. It found that many government officials
as well as children were unaware of their aftercare being mandated
by law. The mandate of Child Protection Services or CPS under the
Government of India was to protect these vulnerable children.
However, the coverage of this program has been less than 1 lakh
children per year.
Orphans : The Forgotten Children
The study by the Ministry of Women and Child Development (MWCD)
undertaken in 2016-17 has revealed that there are 9589 CCIs/Homes
(registered/unregistered); 91 per cent of which are run by non-
government organizations, and only 9 per cent are government
supported. One in five districts in the country does not have even a
single orphanage. A majority of districts does not have the minimum
three orphanages needed (one for children of less than 6 years of
age and one each for boys and girls of 6-18 years respectively).
For children of SC / ST / OBC families, there are several benefits like
reservation in institutions for higher education, coaching and hostels
for competitive examinations, reservation in jobs, loans to set up a
business and even sponsorship for studies abroad. Orphans, 70% of
whom would belong to SC / ST or OBC categories, going by the
proportion for the population, are not eligible for government
scholarships. By the time they reach the age of 18, they have to
pretty much fend for themselves. Orphans have no reservations to
uplift them.
SERUDS has been running Joy Home Orphanage for 60 children
since 2012. The children receive care in a family-like environment. If
this story touched you, and you wish to do something for the invisible
orphans of India
