Abstract

The case is about a non-profit organization named Child In Need Institute (CINI), based at Kolkata, India. CINI is a respected name in the voluntary sector in India and has good credentials in nutrition, health, education and protection of women, children and adolescents. The case raises global concerns of child protection and homeless children. It discusses in detail CINI’s child protection programme at an Indian railway station. The programme was funded largely by a UK-based charity. Following the Indian government’s policy of disbursing funds to non-profits in the broad area of child protection, the funding pattern could substantially change. The case engages learners to comprehend the nature and extent of issues relating to homeless children on railway platforms in India, form a broad idea about the external environment and strategy of a non-profit engaged in child protection and understand the merits and disadvantages associated with governmental funding.
