Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh government is going to set up 32 childcare institutions to look after children. The children whose parents or guardians have either contracted COVID-19 and need medical assistance or who have succumbed to the deadly virus will be taken care.

The Andhra government states the number of children is significantly low, so as a precautionary purpose it’s better to set up institutions of this nature. Krithika Batra, Director of Women development, child welfare and zonal development said “Any child or guardian in need of this assistance can contact these helpline numbers, post which the district level teams will be sent to the residence of the child and transport the child to the nearest childcare institution.” The decision was taken to ensure the children are not abandoned and get proper care and attention.

In these institutions, they will provide the children food, shelter and education, according to the government meeting statements. Two helpline numbers – 181 and 1098 – have been set up for this purpose.
