Introduction:
After Care programme is for children without family or who leave institutional care after they complete 18 years of age to sustain themselves during the transition from institutional to independent life. This aftercare programme enables children to adjust to the society and stand on their feet. In Child Care Institution (CCI) children are vulnerable to unemployment, psychological stress, physical and mental illness, homelessness and dependency level is high. Base on this, Section 46 of JJ Act 2015 stated that any child leaving the child care institution may be provided aftercare support till the age of 21 years with the order of Child Welfare Committee (CWC).
