Registration of Child Care Institutions under Juvenile Justice Act
19-Dec-2023 (In Documentation Law)
Dear Team, Please guide whether a private company running a pre-school brand is required to register itself under Sec 34 (3) of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2000 as amended in 2006. The act refers 3 type of organizations to register: 1.Government run; 2. NGO; 3.Voluntary Organization Since our company does not fall in point 1 &2, can you please clarify whether a private company be considered as voluntary organization as the term 'Voluntary organization' is not defined under the act and do we have to register under the act.
The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act, 2015) has come into effect from 15th January, 2016. As per Section 41(1) of JJ Act, 2015 all institutions, whether run by the State Government or by voluntary or non-governmental organisations, which are meant, either wholly or partially, for housing children in need of care and protection and those in conflict with law, shall, be registered under the Act within a period of six months from the date of commencement of the Act, regardless of whether they are receiving grants from the Central Government or, as the case may be the State Government or not, provided that the institutions having valid registration under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 (56 of 2000) on the date of commencement of the Act shall be deemed to have been registered under the Act. The primary responsibility of managing the Child Care Institutions (CCIs) lies with the State Governments/UT Administrations concerned. The Ministry has been requesting the State Governments/UT Administrations from time to time to identify and register all Child Care Institutions under the provisions of JJ Act, 2000/2015 so as to ensure that minimum standards of care can be maintained.
