Section 2(14) (vi) of the JJ Act, 2015 defines children in need of care and protection (CNCP) as ones who does not have parents and no one is willing to take care of, or whose parents have abandoned or surrendered him. Therefore CNCP includes orphan children inter-alia. The Act mandates Institutional and Non-Institutional care for such children. The government has been implementing Child Protection Services-a scheme to deliver the security net as envisaged under JJ Act, 2015. However, the primary responsibility of execution of the Act lies with the State Governments/UT Administrations.
(b): Total no. of Child Care Institutions (CCIs) funded by government during last three years is as per
Annexure-I.

(e): No specific suggestions from the Government of Jharkhand have come in the notice of the Ministry. (f): The question does not arise in view of (e) above.
