3. The Neglected Orphans of India : Facts to
Know
According to (UNICEF), India has 29.6 million
orphaned and abandoned children (more than
the population of Sri Lanka! In 2017, of these 30
million children, there were only 470,000
children in institutionalized care. In an
orphanage or CCI the child has access to some
food, limited education (only till age 14) and
then at age 18, is abandoned to face the cruel
world again!

4. The Planning Commission and the Government have
never conducted a structured survey of these
children. This is because there is no one to speak for
these vulnerable children : they are not a ‘vote bank’.
The National Commission for Protection of Child
Rights (NCPCR) data show there are 5,850 registered
CCIs in India. If unregistered ones are included, there
are more than 8,000 such institutions. One in five
districts in the country does not have even a single
orphanage. A majority of districts does not have the
minimum three orphanages needed (one for children
of less than 6 years of age and one each for boys and
girls of 6-18 years respectively).

5. Adoption in India is consistently less than
6000 children per year, thus addressing
only the tip of the problem.
The government’s annual expenditure on
child protection (covering the entire gamut
of child rights) is Rs 1500 crores : it
amounts to less than Rs 2 per child per day,
covering food, clothing, education and
medical needs!

6. “…. We are guilty of many errors and many faults,
but our worst crime is abandoning the children,
neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things
we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is
the time his bones are being formed, his blood is
being made, and his senses are being developed.
To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow,’ his name is
“Today.”
-(Gabriela Mistral)

7. SERUDS started Orphanage in Budhavarapeta, Kurnool in
December 2012. Today the Children’s Home shelters 60 boys
and girls in the age group of 4 to 16 years. These abandoned
orphan, street children come from different family
backgrounds like a father who died of AIDS, mother who
committed suicide, alcoholic father and mother left children
and is living with other person, or both parents died. In this
critical juncture These kids were found by Seruds in streets or
volunteers brought the children to SERUDS Children Home.
We believe that if these children are not taken care of they
may become anti-social. We have rescued them and provided
a safe shelter, education support, counseling and
extracurricular activities like sports and games.
