Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) is a statutory body of Ministry of Women & Child Development, Government of India. It functions as the nodal body for adoption of Indian children and is mandated to monitor and regulate in-country and inter-country adoptions. CARA is designated as the Central Authority to deal with inter-country adoptions in accordance with the provisions of the Hague Convention on Inter-country Adoption, 1993, ratified by Government of India in 2003. CARA primarily deals with adoption of orphan, abandoned and surrendered children through its associated or recognised adoption agencies.
Adoption as defined under the law is creation of a parent-child relationship by judicial order between two parties who usually are unrelated. This relationship is brought about only after a determination that the child is an orphan or has been abandoned or that the parental rights have been terminated by the court’s order. Adoption process can be tiresome & includes a lot of legal hurdles and proceedings. “Private adoption” is also deemed illegal in the country. Violation of the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) guidelines can lead to legal proceedings against the parties involved. So Team PaaLoNaa offers a legal panel to help assist the willing parents for adoption.
Since 2016, PaaLoNaa has been at the forefront of organizing Art-cum Photo exhibitions. These exhibitions showcase paintings created by renowned artists from Jharkhand. The collection includes powerful original pictures depicting the innocence of baby victims affected by infanticide.
Join us in exploring these thought-provoking exhibitions that not only celebrate artistic talent but also raise awareness on critical issues surrounding infanticide.
Since 2018, PaaLoNaa has been dedicated to organizing impactful training workshops for the police officers of Jharkhand. The collaborative efforts of DG Mr. Anil Palta and SP Peter Dungdung have been instrumental in initiating and supporting these workshops.
The positive outcomes have been evident, particularly in legal actions related to infanticide and abandonment cases.
PaaLoNaa has taken a proactive step in promoting awareness and reaching out to the masses by launching informative posters on the Safe Surrender policy of the Government of India.
These visually compelling posters have been disseminated to government authorities, child rights activists, and communities to enhance awareness and foster sensitivity towards this crucial initiative.
Engaging in face-to-face interactions with both the general public and delegates, along with facilitating group sessions, contributes significantly to a holistic grasp of the issue’s gravity.
These collective discussions provide a platform for diverse perspectives, enabling a more thorough understanding of the challenges at hand.
