Q. What is the primary objective of ‘GHAR Portal’, recently seen in the news?
Answer:
Digitally track and monitor the restoration and repatriation of children
Notes: The GHAR (Go Home and Re-Unite) Portal, developed by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), facilitates the digital monitoring and repatriation of children under the Juvenile Justice Act. It expedites repatriation by tracking cases, transferring them to relevant authorities, and facilitating communication with State Governments for translators or experts. Child Welfare Committees use the portal's checklist to identify children in need, linking them to government schemes for family strengthening during restoration.
