Children, currently living in dilapidated dormitories, to shift next week, new premises to have a classroom equipped with e-learning

Children Home's officials are giving final touches to the new premises
Under-Trial juveniles being kept in two dilapidated dormitories at the Children's Correction Home in Dongri, Umerkhadi will finally get to live in a brand new home next week. Although the construction of the new home in Dongri was complete in 2017, observation home's officials were not able to shift the juveniles since the Public Works Department (PWD) failed to meet all conditions needed for an Occupation Certificate (OC). The OC was received only last week.
In 2016, the Women and Child Development department sanctioned construction of the new home at a cost of around R1.6 crore. The decision came after the Bombay High Court in 2015 ordered that inmates be shifted from the Dongri Children's Home as it was in poor condition. The PWD was tasked with the construction.
