<br />
The Kerala State Council for [[Child Welfare]] has passed laws, and as part of these legislative actions, an automatic "Baby Cradle" was established at the council's headquarters in [[Thiruvananthapuram]], where women can bring [[abandoned children|unwanted children]] rather than leaving them in trash receptacles. The hope is that by offering such an alternative to abandonment, women might leave their children with people who can help the child. It is situated in the heart of Thiruvananthapuram.<br />
<br />
Ammathottil was started in Trivandrumin 2007.<br />
