Consumption of food donated by external sources affects the kids' health, states letter
The Women and Child Development (WCD) department on Wednesday directed all the district collectors to ensure that no food from outside, either donated or procured, is served to children in child care institutions (CCIs).
Around 329 child care institutions in the state are registered with the Women and Child Development department. The CCIs are also known as orphanages or homes for children in conflict with the law. The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) mandates that CCIs provide food and other essentials to children, and prohibit the introduction of outside food.
