The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 inducted

The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 with special provisions to tackle child offenders in the age group of 16-18 years committing heinous offences, came into force.
  • The act will replace Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000.
  • The JJ Act, 2015 provides for strengthened provisions for both children in need of care and protection and children in conflict with law.
  • To streamline adoption procedures for orphan, abandoned and surrendered children, the existing Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) is given the status of a statutory body to enable it to perform its function more effectively.
