## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (DR. VIRENDRA KUMAR)

- (a) &(b)  Yes Madam, the Scheme for Adolescent Girls sanctioned in the year 2010 is implemented in selected districts (205) of each State/UT across the country. Government has approved expansion and universalisation of the Scheme for Adolescent Girls in a phased manner  i.e. in additional 303 districts in 2017-18 and the remaining districts in 2018-19. Thus, from the current year, 508 districts in the country are  covered  under  Scheme  for  Adolescent  Girls.  State-wise  number  of  508  districts covered under the scheme  is at Annexure-1.
- (c)      & (d)      Continuation  and  expansion  of  the    Scheme  for  Adolescent  Girls  has  been approved by the Government for out of school girls in the age group of 11-14 years, hence, at present there is no vocational training component under the scheme. Before this, the vocational training to girls of age 16 years and above was provided under the scheme.  The    details  of  the  number  of  girls  benefitted  therefrom  State  wise  during 2016-17 is at Annexure-2.
- (e) to  enhance  the  coverage  and  improve  the  functioning  of  the  said  scheme,  the Government  is  reviewing  the  performance  of  the  Scheme  at  regular  intervals  on  a quarterly/annual  basis  to  identify  gaps  for  taking  corrective  measures.  Monitoring committees are set up at all levels (National, State, District, Block and Village level) to  take  stock  of  the  progress  of  the  scheme  as  also  strengthen  the  coordination  and convergence between concerned departments.
