It will be possible to know on a real time basis as to how many children are available in each CCI, how many are available for adoption, which children need help and what type of assistance needs to be provided to them, she added.
The module for online registration of CCIs has been developed by the WCD Ministry with the assistance of National Informatics Centre (NIC).
