The National Child Rights Council (NCRC) has urged the child homes in operation across the country to get licenses. Issuing a notice today, the Council asked the child homes to apply for the license within May 18. There is a provision that allows a child home to operate by meeting the set standards.

Earlier on January 5, the Council issued a notice urging child homes to apply for the license. But none applied for the same.

It has also warned of action against the child homes operating without taking permission. It has asked the local levels and the respective provincial ministry to inform about the child homes operating within their respective areas without official permission.
