This opinion piece by Vageshwari Deswal in the Times of India makes the case for promoting and strengthening foster care in India. According to the article, "foster care remains a neglected area in our country" despite the "horrifying tales of institutional abuse of children [ in India]." The author calls on the State to "provide financial support as well as incentives to people opting as foster parents" and states "we all need to join hands and remove the stigma associated with foster children."
