CARA team visits Sishu Vihar

By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, MAY 15. The Central Adoption Resource Agency (CARA) team led by the Deputy Director, Mr. Jagannath Pathi, visited the Sishu Vihar, on Tuesday afternoon, while one more baby, found abandoned in Chintalpally village of Mahabubnagar, was shifted here.

Addressing presspersons, Mr. Pathi said the team had completed inspection of two more adoption centres - Mission to the Nations, Kakinada and Priyadarshini Sishu Gruha, Visakhapatnam. `We have noticed certain lapses during the inspection at Priyadarshini Sishu Gruha and these were being put in our report.' Asked about specific lapses, he only said they pertained to `non-maintenance of records and documents.'

The CARA had been endeavouring to streamline the adoption procedures and prevent any misuse of adoption policies. `Every child has a right to family and we should get them one at the earliest,' he said.

There were 77 agencies in the country working for adoption of children and there was a possibility of some of them indulging in wrong doings. `We need to attend to such agencies instead of blaming everyone involved in adoption. There are some agencies which are doing a good job too,' he added.

Meanwhile, one baby, aged around three months and apparently suffering from blindness, was brought to the Sishu Vihar from Mahabubnagar. The baby was found abandoned in Chintalpally village, Kodangal Mandal, Mahabubnagar and on the instructions of the Collector, was shifted to the Sishu Vihar. The baby is likely to be sent for a medical check-up tomorrow.
