Ep 34: Streamlining 4% of India's child population into the legal adoption process

There are 30 million orphaned and abandoned kids in India. Of this only about half a million are in childcare institutions, and only around 20,000 in the legal adoption pool. So where are the other 29.5 million of India's children? In this episode, we chat to Smriti Gupta, Founder of 'Where are India's Children', who's working towards the safe surrender of orphaned and abandoned kids, spreading awareness on the existence of childcare institutions (CCIs) in India, and using technology to ensure the path of children from CCIs to the adoption pool is streamlined. Essentially, Smriti is in the pursuit to ensure that every child in India grows up in a safe and loving home.
