The Bihar Government on Monday submitted before the Kerala High Court that the children who were brought from Bihar to orphanages in Kerala were not victims of child trafficking.
In a counter affidavit, Bihar Social Welfare Department deputy director Jagjit Kaur Ghai submitted that the interstate transportation of children was done primarily for providing them free education, food and clothing, which were available in Kerala. “The children were brought to Kerala with the consent of their parents or guardians,” he said.
The orphanage authorities explanation on very many issues raised are frankly untenable and so childish nature. One should think, why they prefer to bring from states like jharkhand, bihar, bengal? because there wont' be any follow up at later stage about the children. In kerala itself there are hundreds and thousands of families reeling under poverty and why the so called institutions turn blind ? Instead they gone for hunting from northern states. Can any one offer a reason? The govt. has no option but to tell wishy-washy explanation to save their govt. They cannot say or act against IUML, because of political ramification. HRC & CBI must undertake the investigation, and must find out the truth behind these kind of trafficking, in the disguise of orphanage. There are many bangaladeshi kids, which attracts the need of central government's involvement too in the security angle which no one can ignore or deny.
This is not a matter of child's play. It's a serious allegation that children are sold in gulf. Either rediff or Mr nanjappa should own the responsibility.

"F you giveInd You are an evil. Why would they need to be in Kerala for their education and support ? Why can not be the children be supported at their own home with their parents. You think it is a joke ? You piece of dirty elements scumbag"
Use the good, incorruptible Sr. citizens, churches sisters, known as good people, looking for some pastime may be on some paltry payment to be a part of the charitable institutes. Install CCTVs also
I have been to Malappuram and it is fast becoming an educational hub in Kerala. It has the highest success rate among high school in Kerala. as per my understanding, orphanages are accepting poor students from other states to study there which will benefit India in the long term. Kerala is the only state with excess educational infrastructure and all other states are very state in that especially the poor. Even the rich find it hard to get into a good school. The orphanages needs to be educated about Indian documentation standards before taking up charity work. Selling to gulf is just outrageous imagination without any proof. words like "orphanage industry" is pure sensationalism. Come to kerala, You are welcome to find out the truth yourself.

Daryl, the children were obviously brought there so that the orphanage can claim donations. Forget about the 'samastha' people wanting to educate children from jharkhand! But indeed, that bit about selling is outrageous and rediff must apologize.

we are always 'proactive' in acting based on imaginations when people at the receiving end are poor children who get unnecessarily detained in police stations, gets questioned harassed only because they are trying to study. It spoils the future of the kids and the emotional damage can have a huge impact later in life. Stop giving grants to them if they are misusing the law. Poor have a right to study outside their villages. Its not just a privilege of the rich to travel abroad to study.

The children had to endure this because the orphanage brought them without documentation. You can't blame cops for that, how else can they ensure safety of children? How do you conclude that those children were not there because they wanted to study in Kerala? It's not as if they applied for primary schools in Kerala! They were obviously brought there for a purpose. Claiming donations showing non existent people is not a new phenomenon.
These are baseless rumors propogated to tarnish a community.As per author hundreds of children are trafficked to gulf,Plese substantiate your claim with atleast one child being trafficked from those orphanage before making baseless allegations.Today the Chief Minister of Kerala himself has told this is not trafficking & few of the rules were not followed by the orphanages .
