Couples from Maha, UP and Delhi adopt 3 kids

Patna: District magistrate (DM) Chandrashekhar Singh on Thursday issued adoption order of three children under the recent guidelines issued by the Central government. The children of different ages were adopted by three different couples of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, respectively.

Two children from Arunoday Vishisht Duttak Grahan Sansthan and another from Srijini Vishisht Duttak Grahn Sansthan were adopted at an event, which was attended by deputy development commissioner of Patna, Tanay Sultania, assistant director child protection (ADCP) Uday Kumar Jha and others.

Jha said earlier adoption of children was a long process through family court, but later it was simplified and the district magistrate concerned was authorised to issue adoption order. He said, “The couples, who had at least two years of stable married life and whose mental condition are fine, are eligible to adopt children after getting registered on the portal of the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA).”

Meanwhile, the DM inspected the district minority welfare office and directed the officials to make people aware about various welfare schemes launched by the government so that maximum number could avail their benefits. Various schemes sponsored by both central and state government were available for welfare of the minority in the district.

The DM further ordered effective implementation of the Bihar state madrasa strengthening scheme. He also interacted with the employees, checked their attendance, ordered closure of the unnecessary bank accounts and return the unspent amount of past government schemes.
