## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI MANEKA SANJAY GANDHI)

- (a) & (b): Yes, Madam. Central Govt provides grants to the Non-Governmental Organisations through  State  Govt,  under  namely  Integrated  Child  Protection  Scheme  (ICPS)  (now 'Child  protection  Services'),  for  execution  of  Juvenile  Justice  (Care  and  Protection  of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act). As per Section 2 (14) of JJ Act, a child  who does not have parents  and  no  one  is  willing  to  take  care  of,  or  whose  parents  have  abandoned  or surrendered him is included as a child in need of care and protection. And as per Section 2 ( 57 ),  of  JJ  Act,  a  'Specialised Adoption Agency' (SAA) is an institution established by the State Government or by a voluntary or non-governmental organisation and recognized under  section  65  by  the  State  Govt,  for  housing  orphans,  abandoned  and  surrendered children, placed there by order of the Committee, for the purpose of adoption. Further as per Regulation 58 of Adoption Regulation, 2017 all Child Care Institutions (CCIs) which are  not  recognized  as  SAAs  shall  have  linkages  with  CCI  in  the  district.  The  primary responsibility in execution of the JJ Act lies with the State Governments. However Central Govt  is  executing  a  scheme  namely  Integrated  Child  Protection  Scheme  (ICPS)  (now 'Child protection Services') for providing financial assistance to State Governments/UT Administrations,  on  sharing  pattern,  for  execution  of  the  Act  and  with  the  objective  to create a safe and secure environment for overall development of children in need of care and  protection,  which  includes  orphan/abandoned/surrendered  children.  Under  'Child protection Services', financial assistance is provided  to  State  Governments  /UT Administrations for setting up and managing Child Care Institutions (CCIs) by themselves or in association with Voluntary Organisations/Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs).

The  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  is  implementing  the  Swadhar Greh Scheme which targets the women victims of unfortunate circumstances who are in need  of  institutional  support  for  rehabilitation  so  that  they  could  lead  their  life  with dignity.  The  Scheme  envisages  providing  shelter,  food,  clothing  and  health  as  well  as economic  and  social  security  for  the  women  victims  of  difficult  circumstances  which includes widows, destitute women and aged women.

Details of funds released to the State Governments/UT administration under Child Protection Services erstwhile  ICPS reported by  State/UTs during each of the last three years and the current year, State/UT-wise, is at Annexure-I (A).

Details of funds released under Swadhar/Swadhar Greh Scheme during last three years and current year is at Annexure-I (B).

- (c) : As per the information provided by the  State/UT  Governments including Rajasthan and Maharashtra, as on date, the number of SAAs registered under the JJ Act, in the country which are being supported under the ICPS, is at Annexure-II (A) .   State/UTs including  Rajasthan  and  Maharashtra details  of  number  of  Swadhar  Greh  presently functional, is at Annexure-II (B) .
