The Children Homes in the State, which are recognized by the Social Welfare Department, Government of Manipur, will be provided with Solar Packs.
Sources revealed that the children in these homes, who are abandoned by their parents for one reason or the other and who have none to look up to for help, also face the same kind of problems being encountered by the people of the State due to the acute shortage of power.
To overcome the problem faced by inmates of Children Homes in the State which are recognised by the Social Welfare Department, the State Government has decided to provide solar packs to all.
No other homes which are not recognized by the Social Welfare Department will get this opportunity.
Sources informed that the identification of children homes recognized by the Social Welfare Department is being carried out.
Soon after the identification process is completed, the concerned officials will be directed to start the installation of solar packs.
This opportunity is also likely to be extended to old aged homes and mentally retarded homes, sources said.
