Delhi To Have State-Of-Art Integrated Complex For Rescued Children: Minister

The integrated complex will be built in an 8.44-acre premise, the minister said.

New Delhi:

Delhi minister Kailash Gahlot on Thursday said the government is developing a plan for a state-of-the-art integrated complex in Alipur to house rescued children.

The women and child development minister was speaking during a meeting held to review the proposed integrated complex for boys.

During the meeting, officials from the public works department presented the building's initial design concept and layout plan to the minister.

Mr Gahlot said there was an immediate need to re-assess the infrastructure adequacy of existing institutions and identify the gaps so that the rescued children are given "the best possible infrastructure".

"These institutions promote health, growth and well-being of the children until they are handed back to their families," he said, according to an official statement.

The integrated complex which will be built in an 8.44-acre premise, envisages a four-storey structure and a basement with a total built-up area of 13,643 square metres. It will be designed to accommodate 200 children.

Lifts, ramps, and child friendly disabled-friendly toilets, recreational spaces, libraries, playground and dedicated dining areas are also being planned, according to the government.

"The idea is to ensure that every child staying in institutional care should feel at home until they are handed back to their families," Mr Gahlot said.

The women and child welfare department runs 99 child care institutions in seven locations across Delhi -- Lajpat Nagar, Hari Nagar, Alipur, Kingsway Camp, Delhi Gate, Majnu Ka Tila and Dilshad Garden.

In the financial year 2021-22, 7,132 children were recommended to these institutions and 5,805 were handed back to their families.

However, many of these institutions have inadequate infrastructure and they are not regularly maintained, the statement said.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
