Centre’s order to inspect all Mother Teresa care homes

18 July 2018

NEW DELHI Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi has ordered all states to immediately inspect child care homes run by the Mother Teresafounded Missionaries of Charity, in the wake of cases of alleged illegal adoptions carried out by its Jharkhand shelters. She also told them to ensure that all child care institutions are registered and linked to the country’s apex adoption body within a month. The child care home in Ranchi, which allegedly “sold” three children and “gave away” another recently, said it is ready for any kind of inspection.
