Formal child adoption remains low in J&K; CARA records 42 cases in 2025-26
Jammu and Kashmir recorded 42 children adopted through the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) during 2025-26, a figure substantially lower than adoption numbers reported by several major States, according to data presented by the Union Ministry of Women and Child Development in the Rajya Sabha. The State/UT-wise data, furnished in response to a parliamentary question answered on August 12, shows that Maharashtra recorded the highest number of CARA-facilitated adoptions during the financial year, with 792 cases. Gujarat followed with 547, while Tamil Nadu recorded 501 adoptions. Karnataka accounted for 377 cases, followed by Odisha with 308 and Telangana with 307. Jammu and Kashmirs 42 adoptions were also lower than the figures reported by several northern and neighbouring States. Rajasthan recorded 172 adoptions, while Punjab reported 49, only seven more than J&K. Uttar Pradesh registered 231 cases, Haryana 68, Uttarakhand 30, Himachal Pradesh 14 and Delhi 109. Among other States, Assam recorded 186 adoptions, Kerala 170, Andhra Pradesh 140, Bihar 125 and Chhattisgarh 114. West Bengal reported 237 cases, Madhya Pradesh 221 and Jharkhand 60. The data also showed considerable variation among the northeastern States. Meghalaya and Nagaland reported 13 adoptions each, Mizoram 78, Tripura seven, Arunachal Pradesh five and Manipur four. Sikkim recorded 28 cases. Smaller Union Territories and States also reported relatively modest numbers. Goa recorded 25 adoptions, Chandigarh 18, Puducherry 15 and Andaman and Nicobar Islands 11. Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu reported five cases. No adoption through CARA was recorded in Ladakh or Lakshadweep during 2025-26. Across the 36 States and Union Territories listed in the annexure, the reported number of CARA-facilitated adoptions stood at 5,022 during the financial year. J&Ks 42 cases therefore accounted for less than one per cent of the reported national total. The Ministry, however, has clarified that adoption figures should be viewed in the context of the availability of children who have been declared legally free for adoption. The waiting period for prospective adoptive parents depends not only on the number of applicants but also on the availability of legally free children and the age group preferred by prospective parents. The government is seeking to strengthen the adoption infrastructure through Mission Vatsalya. States and UTs have been advised to establish at least one Specialised Adoption Agency (SAA) in every district under the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and the Adoption Regulations, 2022. As of July 29, 2026, 795 SAAs had been approved across the country under Mission Vatsalya. These agencies support the formal adoption process and provide residential care to adoptable children below six years of age. The adoption system has also been substantially digitised. All SAAs are required to operate through the integrated CARINGS-Mission Vatsalya platform, which facilitates digital processing of cases from referral and matching to documentation. The system also allows authorities to monitor compliance through real-time dashboards at the Central and State levels. The Ministry said District Magistrates have been empowered to issue adoption orders under the Juvenile Justice Act and Adoption Regulations. Prescribed timelines have been laid down for different stakeholders, while CARA undertakes regular monitoring and follow-up with States and UT administrations to reduce delays. The Centre is also using Mission Vatsalya for awareness campaigns promoting legal adoption and foster care. Nationwide and local outreach programmes, workshops, seminars and orientation sessions are being conducted, while CARA uses print, electronic and social media platforms to spread information on legal adoption procedures.

1 in 26 J&K fruit & veg samples fail pesticide safety test
Srinagar, Aug 12: Fifty-eight of the 1,489 fruit and vegetable samples tested in Jammu and Kashmir between 2023 and 2026were found to containpesticide residues above the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) prescribed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), the Centre told the Lok Sabha. The figures were presented by Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in response to a starred question by Dr Bhola Singh onthe excessive and indiscriminate use of pesticides in fruit and vegetable cultivation. The testingwas carried outunder the Monitoring of Pesticide Residues at National Level (MPRNL) project, which the Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare hasbeen runningsince 2005-06. At 3.9 per cent, J&Ks rate of samples exceeding MRLs was higher than the national average of 3.1 per cent, calculated from 2,223 non-compliant samples out of 70,652 tested across 23 states and Union Territories over the same three-year period. Among the 23 states and UTs tested, Telangana recorded the highest violation rate at 5.9 per cent (486 of 8,198 samples), followed by Haryana at 6.4 per cent (152 of 2,371). Several states, including Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, recorded zero non-compliant samples. What MRL means Under FSSAI regulations, an MRL is not a safety threshold in the everyday sense; it is the maximum level of pesticide residue legally permitted in a food item when the pesticide has been applied correctly, in line with Good Agricultural Practices and data provided by the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIB&RC). Under Section 3(zz)(xii) of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, food is deemed unsafe only when pesticide residues exceed the quantities specified in FSSAI regulations. A sample crossing the MRL does not mean the entire produce category is unsafe; it flags a specific instance where that legal threshold was breached. How monitoring works Samples under MPRNL are collected from retail and wholesale markets, cooperatives, Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) markets, farm gates and organic outlets, and analysed by 40 participating laboratories. GPS coordinates of each collection point are recorded to aid traceability, and farm-gate samples can be traced back to their growing areas. The government's reply, however, does not specify what pesticides were detected in the 58 J&K samples, which crops were involved, by how much the MRL was exceeded, or what enforcement action, if any, followed. Awareness & training measures The ministry said MPRNL results are shared with state and UT agriculture departments to train farmers on the safe and judicious use of pesticides approved by the Registration Committee, as per label directions.

South Kashmir terror attacks under investigation: IGP Kashmir
Srinagar, Aug 11:The recent terror attacks in South Kashmir remain under investigation and it would be inappropriate to disclose details at this stage, Inspector General of Police, Kashmir Zone, V K Birdi said on Tuesday, as security agencies put in place a multi-tier security grid across the Valley ahead of Independence Day. Asked about the progress of investigations into the recent attacks in South Kashmir, IGP Birdi said police would share details once they were in a position to do so. It is a matter of investigation. I dont think it is appropriate to talk about it at this time. Whenever there is something that can be shared with you, we will share it at the appropriate time, he told reporters. IGP Kashmir was speaking during a visit to Balidan Stambh at Lal Chowk to review preparations for the Independence Day programme. He said the security arrangements were not confined to the main venues but had been extended across Srinagar city and all districts of Kashmir. Multi-tier security arrangements are in place not only at the venues but also around the city and in all districts of the Valley, the IGP said. The heightened security comes against the backdrop of recent terror incidents in south Kashmir, including the killing of a J&K Police head constable in Anantnag and the subsequent killing of two migrant workers from Chhattisgarh in Kulgam. Security forces have since intensified frisking, vehicle checking, area domination, night patrolling and surveillance, particularly in vulnerable and sensitive areas. IGP Birdi said preparations for the main Independence Day function at Bakshi Stadium were underway, including full-dress rehearsals and other arrangements. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah is scheduled to unfurl the national flag and take the salute at the Srinagar function. A day earlier, Birdi chaired a high-level security review meeting at the Police Control Room Kashmir, attended by senior officers of the J&K Police, Army, BSF, CRPF, SSB, ITBP, RPF, CID and Traffic Police, besides range DIGs and district SSPs. The district police chiefs briefed the IGP on preparations in their respective jurisdictions. Birdi directed officers to complete all arrangements well in advance and strengthen security around venues hosting Independence Day functions and other events. He also ordered tighter checkpoints during night hours at vulnerable locations and along Srinagars entry and exit routes, besides intensified area domination and patrolling in sensitive areas. The IGP stressed the need for strict vigilance against elements inimical to peace and security and called for close coordination among all agencies. Urging people to participate in the celebrations in large numbers, Birdi said Independence Day was essentially a peoples function. The function is for the people. The police works as an organiser, he said, appealing to people to participate in large numbers for the successful conduct of the celebrations.
