The Foster Care ( BalSangopan Yojana) program is an initiative of Maharashtra Government to prevent institutionalization of children in difficult circumstances . This program was launched in 1995 and now started catering also to families referred by the Child Welfare Committee. Focuses mainly on the education of the children. Though the State Government provides the financial support for the rehabilitation of the children and their families, our social worker visits these foster families and closely monitors the progress in education and development of the children and provides support if needed by them.
