Maharashtra government will soon come up with a new child correction home policy, minister for Women and Child Welfare Pankaja Munde said here today.

The new policy will take into account factors like remand home buildings and subsidy given per child, the minister said, replying to a query by Amin Patel (Congress) and others.

Leader of opposition Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil said the government should take note of the declining standard of child correction homes in the state.

The minister said legislators will be invited for meetings to be held to formulate the new policy.
