Chandigarh: In a heart-warming testament to the Punjab Government’s child-centric governance, a child girl who was rescued while begging on the streets has now found the love and security of a permanent family through the legal adoption process. The remarkable transformation reflects the State Government’s unwavering resolve to ensure that every child in need of care and protection receives not only immediate support but also the opportunity to build a life of dignity, hope and happiness.
Punjab Cabinet Minister for Social Security, Women and Child Development Dr. Baljit Kaur said that under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the Punjab Government is creating a robust child protection system that places the best interests of every child at its core. She said the Government is committed to ensuring that no vulnerable child is left without care, compassion and a fair chance to realise his or her full potential.
Following the rescue, the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU), Patiala produced the child before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), Patiala, which directed her placement in a Specialized Adoption Agency (SAA). There, she received counselling, healthcare, education, emotional support and holistic care in a safe, nurturing environment designed to restore confidence and normalcy to her life.
Dr. Baljit Kaur appreciated the dedicated efforts of the State Adoption Resource Agency (SARA), District Child Protection Unit (DCPU), Child Welfare Committee (CWC), Specialized Adoption Agency (SAA), counsellors and all adoption authorities, whose coordinated and sensitive approach ensured that the child’s welfare remained the highest priority at every stage.
