How government ministries, NGO's, PVO's, CBO's, networks, are

responding to the needs of OVC in India and identifying gaps in

programs and services.

Issues affecting OVC in India that may differ from issues we are

familiar with from Africa (cultural differences, social support

networks, etc)

Key operations research questions to address the needs of OVC in

India as well as links for potential partnerships

Strengthening and expanding current work/initiatives addressing the
