Capitation grant
Traditionally, the people of Bangladesh are determined to take care of the neglected orphans. All the religious people of Bangladesh have been running private orphanages for the upbringing of orphans. Assistance is provided by the Department of Social Services for the proper management of these private orphanages. Private orphanages are first registered under the Voluntary Social Welfare Institutions (Registration and Control) Ordinance 1981 and later financial assistance is provided for the upbringing, treatment and education of the children of the registered private orphanages known as Capitation Grant. At present, capitation grant is being given to 1 lakh 6 thousand orphans of 4 thousand 12 private orphanages. The main purpose of Capitation Grant is to turn poor orphans into human resources.
During the tenure of the present government, "Capitation Grant Allocation and Distribution Policy 2015 in Private Orphanages" was formulated. The government policy is being followed in the provision of capitation grant. Financial discipline has already been consolidated in the provision of capitation grants. Intensive supervision and monitoring has been intensified at the ministry and directorate level in this regard. It is hoped that if this trend continues, it will be possible to create an encouraging response at the private level in the upbringing of orphans in the country. Name plaques have been erected in the open space of Capitation Granted Private Orphanage. In addition to religious education, primary, secondary and equivalent education has been made compulsory in every institution. The performance of national anthem has been made compulsory by the residents of the institution. The allocation of capitation grants to private orphanages is a significant part of the government's social security zone program.
