National Resource Centre on Foster Care (NRCFC) has been established in the Centre for Early Childhood Development and Research (CECDR), Jaia Millia Islamia. The aim of setting NRCFC was to introduce and promote Foster Care as a concept in India. Additionally NRCFC would act as a catalyst agency by building capacities of field staff, government officials and NGOs working in the field. The centre would also contribute to the Indian literature and tools on the topic which is scant.
