- The ‘Bal Swaraj’ is basically an online tracking portal, which tracks and monitors children who lost either or both parents due to coronavirus.
- The ‘Bal Swaraj’ consist of a link named ‘COVID Care’ which allows the officers to upload the data about such children who are in need to be taken care.
- The portal monitors the children affected by COVID-19 right from their production before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC), to the restoration of the children to their parent, guardian, or relative, and its subsequent follow-up.
- Also, the commission will be able to access data on whether the child is getting his/her entitlements, benefits, and entitled monetary gains, through the data filled in the portal by the District officers and State officers for each child.
- Therefore, the commission will get an idea of whether the child has been produced before the CWC and if the orders are being passed for him/her.
- Also, the commission will get to know whether the state needs any financial support to deliver the benefits of the schemes particular developed for children.
