The CWC was empowered to go for field inspection if necessary. “CWC can also conduct counselling to the parents as well as to the children.

The CWC office works from the premises of Kandukuri State Home and anyone can call the committee over the phone numbers--0883--2431100 and 87902 08303 to give information about the hapless children,” Padmavati informed.
