A day-long training session was today held for child rights organisations, mental health practitioners and Child Welfare Committee members in order to explore various aspects of growing up of adolescents and young adults in institutional care and later in aftercare.

The programme was organised by an NGO. The participants also elucidated the idea of launching a network of care-leavers, which would act as a support, pressure as well as an advocacy group for the young adults who are leaving their care homes after 18 years.

"Investing in our disadvantaged and orphaned youth, so that they have the best chance of succeeding as independent citizens of India, is a crucial investment, both ethically and economically," a participant said.
