Ramgarh (Jharkhand), Mar 2 (PTI) A 12-year-old orphan schoolgirl in Jharkhand’s Ramgarh district was adopted by an Italian couple on Monday, officials said.
Deputy Commissioner Faiz Aq Ahmed Mumtaz told reporters that the adoption was completed at the district collectorate after all official formalities.
“The girl, Jyoti Kumari, studying at a school for orphans run by Divine Onkar Mission, got new parents as an Italian couple, Claudia Pedrini and his wife Dominga Salvini, officially adopted her,” the deputy commissioner said.
