Abstract: Children are the strength and future generation of the society and also maintain the culture and customs of the society. Due to many reasons some children who are orphan, very poor, neglected, sexually victimized children or rejected that have to live without their families and they grow up in Child Care Institution. It is a temporarily organized residential care for children where alternative care is provided who are in need of care and protection. Institutionalization refers to the process of implanting something within an organization, social system or society as a whole. This study was conducted to examine the social adjustment of the institutionalized children under the age group of 10 to 18 or above years. This study was confined to child care institutions run under the Punjab Social Welfare department in Lahore and 330 orphans (male and female) were selected through simple random sampling. This research study was quantitative in nature and data were collected using an interview schedule. After the field work data was analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). After the analysis the conclusion is that both orphans (male and female) have good social adjustment in child care institution. They feel comfortable in orphanages. The study shows that the orphans live happily in child care institution.
