The Programme focuses on children in crisis situations. The objective of the scheme is to protect children from destitution and facilitate their withdrawal from life on the streets. The target group are children without homes and family support who are driven to the streets and are especially vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.
The N.G.O. Ruchika Social Service, Ganga Nagar, Bhubaneswar is implementing the scheme in 6 centres at Bhubaneswar covering 300 children with assistance from the Government of India and with close monitoring of State Government. The matter has been taken up with the Government of India and is being pursued for release of funds for a larger project on a regular basis.
