With the motive to locating the children's homes in Tamilnadu which shelters them unnecessarily, the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) along with its state counterpart in Tamilnadu (TNSCPCR) has been scheduled to conduct extensive and all degree audits in all the homes in the districts managed by the respective district child welfare committee on whether the homes shelter the children with having no necessary.

The commission in its recently concluded meet, had figured out that the districts child welfare committees have been reported to be practicing to declare children in need of care and protection in order to place them in their institutions despite that those children belongs to the families that can fully fit to take care and look after them, which the commission had seen that there were no needs to place such children in the homes.

Speaking about the extensive audit to sieve the homes of children in the state, M P Nirmala, the chairperson of Tamilnadu state commission for the protection of Child rights has said that its every child's right to stay with their families which we can't deny them as not all children who have been brought before the committees are required to be sheltered in the homes.

The reports say that the state of Tamilnadu tops the list of having many children homes in the country where the state has been accounted for having about 1,647 homes across all districts which shelters more than 87,000 children where nearly 6000 children have been identified as orphans, more than 1,500 children were abandoned while more than 30,000 children had single parents and the reports further stated that the parents and families of about 50,000 children will fall under the grounds of being unfit to look after them where more than 20,000 of such children has been sheltering in the homes for five years and more.

While the state of Tamilnadu has been accounted for 1,647 homes, the study conducted by the Ministry of Women and Child development, NCPCR and Childline India foundation had pictured that there are around 9,500 children homes across the country.

Chairperson Nirmala had further stated that the committees must laid down its focus on linking the children of poor economic backgrounds with scholarships and other aspects which will ease the pain and burden of the parents after attaining consent from children, as they must be heard and informed of their rights before placing them in the homes, as they hold rights to stay with their families and no one can force them to join such institutions.

It has been reported that these audits will be conducted in several phases from next month where the officials from the national and the state commissions will visit the homes in Kanyakumari, Trichy, Madurai and Chennai districts followed by other parts of the state before concluding their audits at the end of October.
