Separate orphanages for boys, girls after they turn 10
The state Women and Child Development Department, caught unawares late last month after the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) reported a 13-year-old girl getting pregnant at Pune-based orphanage Vidyawati Ashram, has issued a directive to the nearly 100 orphanages in the district to house boys and girls, who are 10 years or older, in separate homes. It has also ordered them to get a medical check-up of all girls done.
