After the Supreme Court Judgement of 1984, the role of the government in the promotion of in-country adoption has considerably increase. Statistical analysis of in-country adoption shows an upward trend from 398 adoptions in 1988 to 1,075 in 1990. These are the major areas of government intervention. 1. Establishing an Adoption Cell in the Ministry of Welfare, to handle all matters related to adoption. 2. Awarding recognition certificates for inter-country adoptions to agencies in Indian and abroad. 3. Formulating and circulating guidelines to regulate matters relating to the adoptin of Indian children. 4. Organizing and arranging periodical meetings with VCA's adoption agencies and Scrutinising Agencies for discussing matters of common concern in the field of adoption. 5. Giving support to some VCAs through their Grant-in-aid scheme to promote the work of in-country adoptions.
