This law extends the Women’s and Children’s Institutions (Licensing) Act of 1956 to the Union territory of Puducherry. It requires that institutions caring for women and children obtain a license to operate legally. The legislation also updates the process for government rules and notifications, mandating that they be placed before the Puducherry Legislative Assembly for review and potential amendment. By doing so, it ensures better oversight and accountability for facilities that care for vulnerable populations in the region.
