India's National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), in its efforts to "monitor the implementation of the Juvenile Justice (care and protection) Act of 2015," has compiled a report enumerating the number of children in child care homes and institutions throughout the country, according to this article from the Telegraph India. The article states that "the apex child rights body last year had asked all states to submit the details of children taking shelter in child-care institutions along with the details of their home states, wherever identified." The report finds that 5,604 children are residing in child care institutions around the country.
