As per Sec 29 (1) of Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection of Children) Act, 2000 it is prescribed that, the state Government may by notification in Official Gazette, constitute Child Welfare Committee for every district or group of districts, specified in the notification for exercising the powers and discharge the duties conferred on such Committees in relation to child in need of care and protection under this Act.
