A child care institution starts out with good intentions. However, that’s never enough. Most CCIs in India are struggling to provide the best care under the burden of scarce resources, poor infrastructure, inadequate administrative capabilities as well as limited people who are willing to work and support this sector. Despite all the problems that plague them, children still call an institution, their ‘home’.

Satyajeet Mazumdar, Head of Advocacy at Catalysts for Social Action talks to Senior Program Manager of CSA, Madhya Pradesh branch, Deepesh Choukse and Assistant Secretary of Banabasi Seva Samiti, Odisha , Rabindra Panda, who shed light on the management of child care institutions, their funding issues, the dearth of resources and the relationship they have with the government.
