India is in the top 10 and has a lot of orphans and poor children. State-run nurseries are usually called youth hostels. There are also thousands of private orphanages across the country. These are done by various trusts, religious groups, private citizens, civic groups, non-governmental organizations, and many others.

In particular, there were scandals related to adoption. Some orphanages maintain a high population through adoption because government regulations limit funding unless there are a certain number of residents. At first, there were no shelter or housing options for the orphans as there were no constituents to raise an orphanage. Jyotirao Phule established an orphanage in 1854 to help less fortunate children in society find homes for themselves. This helped many orphans whose fates remained unknown. Orphans are one of the most vulnerable groups in India. Like any other child, they have rights and interests that must be protected. As they are more susceptible to exploitation and abuse, they require special attention and care. It is not enough to provide them with food, shelter, clothing, and education.

Martin Charitable Trust is involved in many activities to help educate orphans and empower voiceless orphans. Tamil Nadu has many orphanages dedicated to the mission of making a difference and creating an orphan-free society.
