A state-level training programme titled ‘State Orientation Training on
Adoption Regulations, 2022′ was organised today at Pragna Bhavan,
Agartala, on the initiative of the Department of Social Welfare and Social
Education and the State Adoption Resource Agency (SARA). The
programme was organised to make the child adoption process in the state
more transparent, simple and well-organised. Inaugurating the training
workshop, the state’s Social Welfare and Social Education Minister, Tinku
Roy, said this.
He said that the main objective of this workshop is to inform
participants about all the rules and regulations related to adoption. He said
the state government’s main objective is to ensure that children who are
adopted grow up in a good environment, and that is why such programmes
are being organised.
The Minister further added that every official involved
in the adoption process must work together so that every adopted child gets
a healthy and good family. He expressed hope that this training would further
enhance the skills of everyone associated with this process.
The guest of honour at the event, TCPCR Chairperson Jayanti
Debbarma, highlighted the importance of transparent adoption before
everyone present. She said it is our duty to hand over children who have
been deprived of a family to a good family, and that this would be possible
only through a transparent and simple adoption process.
In his welcome address at the training workshop, Tapan Kumar Das,
Special Secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Social Education,
discussed the actual rules and procedures of adoption.
He said that the
procedures of the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) apply to
people both within the country and abroad, and that anyone residing abroad
can adopt a child from India in accordance with CARA’s adoption regulations.
L. Ranchal, Director of the Department of Social Welfare and Social
Education, and Joint Director John Kelvin Debbarma, were present at the
one-day workshop. Officials of the concerned department, as well as college
students, participated in the workshop.
