Shishu Greh Scheme is the scheme which promotes child adoption in India. The scheme comes under Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) which is being launched by Ministry of Women and Child Development. Previously the scheme was administered by the ministry itself, but to have a hold on children situation in country government created the ICPS. Under the scheme the adoption is promoted and simultaneously in pre-adoption period complete child care is taken. There are government organization to do so, but as the trend and more activity by NGOs/Charitable trust now even they are into the action over this scheme. In India every day hundreds of children become orphan and due to lack of any support they are forced to live bad and destitute i.e. poor life. So, the scheme targets on all such issues and make sure no child in their vision remains deprived of the facilities and all happiness what he/she deserves.
