ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI HANSRAJ GANGARAM AHIR)

(a)& (b): As per data compiled by National Crime Records Bureau, State and UT wise details of human trafficking cases  registered and children & women  rescued  during  the  last  three  years  is  at  Annex  I  to  III.  Data  on rehabilitation is not maintained separately.

(c) & (d): The Ministry of Women and Child Development has proposed for a Trafficking in Persons Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation legislation.    'Police'  and  'Public  Order'  are  State  subjects  and  as  such prevention of the crime of trafficking is primarily the responsibility of  the State  Governments.    However,  the  Central  Government  supplements  the efforts of the State Governments by providing them advice and guidelines from  time  to  time.    The  Government  of  India  has  provided  financial assistance  to  the  States  for  setting  up  Anti-Human  Trafficking  Units  at District  level.    Training  is  also  provided  to  State  Police  personnel  in prevention and investigation of the crime of trafficking.  The Government of India has signed Memorandums of Understanding with Bangladesh and UAE on prevention of Human Trafficking.
