Mother Teresa-founded Missionaries of Charity files for recognition of 79 child care homes

Childcare homes run by the Missionaries of Charity (MoC) have filed for recognition of their institutions under the Juvenile Justice Act. In 2015, a dispute had erupted between the govt and the MoC over issues such as the latter's denial to give children to separated or divorced parents. Following this, the MoC decided to stop putting children up for adoption under the govt's Central Adoption Resource Authority system.
