In 2025, the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) is placing special focus on promoting family-based care for children with special needs (Divyaang children). In collaboration with MyGov, CARA invites all Indian citizens to participate in an important national discussion on the theme:
“Non-institutionalized Rehabilitation of Children with Special Needs (Divyaang Children)”

This initiative seeks to create a collaborative platform where citizens can:
1. Share insights on the challenges and barriers in the identification and adoption of children with special needs
2. Suggest innovative ideas, strategies, or solutions to strengthen the adoption ecosystem
3. Contribute to policy-making by offering actionable recommendations to ensure a loving family environment for every child, especially those currently residing in Specialized Adoption Agencies (SAAs) and Child Care Institutions (CCIs)

Your thoughtful suggestions can play a key role in shaping a more inclusive, compassionate, and efficient adoption framework for Divyaang children.

Who can participate?
All Indian citizens are welcome to join the conversation and submit their ideas.

Why participate?
Selected entries may be featured in national-level publications, exhibitions, and even considered in policy discussions aimed at improving the lives of children with special needs.

Let’s work together to ensure every child finds a loving family and a brighter future. Join the discussion today and be a voice for change!
