RANCHI: The state government is planning to deploy women SPOs (special police officers) at the village and panchayat levels to curb human trafficking in Jharkhand, chief minister Hemant Soren said on Sunday. Hemant made the statement while addressing a virtual seminar on Covid orphans and ways to protect them, which was organised by Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (Jhalsa).
He said, “The state government is serious about addressing the issues of trafficking and it is committed to the proper rehabilitation of Covid orphans.”
He added that they are working on a plan to rehabilitate Covid orphans in their areas of residence by identifying local people, such as widows/widowers, who can take care of them. “As per our initial plan, we are planning to hand over such kids to widows/widowers, who reside in the same village as the orphan, with one child and can take care of another. As an encouragement, government will provide them with certain incentiv
“My aim is to completely phase out the orphanage concept. Rather, my dream is to identify widows with, say, one child who can raise another child (orphan) of the same village. This will ensure that the child lives in his own native environment. We will provide financial incentives to such foster parents. I have directed the social welfare department to prepare an action plan,” he said.
He said the state government was also planning to constitute women SPOs ( special police officers) to curb trafficking, an inherent risk with such vulnerable children.
Project Sishu, a special campaign initiated by the Jharkhand State Legal Services Authority (Jhalsa), was started at the end of May to trace Covid orphans and work towards their comprehensive rehabilitation in coordination with the state government.
