Alang asked the child what she wanted, she said she wanted to study in a good school. Jain International School agreed to support her education and accommodation, and a caretaker was arranged. The Ministry of Home Affairs' Model Prison Manual 2016 states children must not be confined in prisons and should be moved to institutions providing care and education. Alang also began looking into the circumstances of other children living in the same jail, according to The Better India. ## Coverage - odishatv.in This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
