## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI KRISHNA RAJ)

- (a) The  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  is  implementing  two  schemes  under Grant-in-Aid for assistance to Voluntary Organisations (VOs) for carrying out works related to empowerment  of  women  and  development  of  children.  Family  Counselling  Centre  (FCC) Scheme and Rajiv Gandhi National Creche Scheme are being implemented  through voluntary organizations.    Through  Family  Counselling  Centres,  professional  counselling,  referral  and rehabilitative services are provided to women in distress, victims of atrocities, etc. Rajiv Gandhi National Creche Scheme is being implemented for the children of working mothers for carrying out works related to child development.
- (b) Under Family Counselling Centre Scheme, during the year 2013-14, 169 new proposals were received against which 16 proposals were considered for sanction/release of grant. During 2014-15 allocation for setting-up for new centres was not made. The scheme has been revised w.e.f.  01.10.2015  and  the  allocation  of  Family  Counselling  Centres  has  been  restricted  at  800 centres  per  year.  Hence,  allocation  for  new  centre  has  not  been  made  since  2015-16  onwards. Under the Rajiv Gandhi National Creche Scheme, new crèches have not been considered since 2014-15.  The details of physical allocation, amount sanctioned, amount released/utilized under FCC scheme for the last three years and current year, State/ UT-wise are given at Annexure - I and Annexure -II . The details of physical allocation, amount sanctioned, amount released/utilized under Rajiv Gandhi National Creche Scheme for the last three years and current year, State/ UT-wise are given at Annexure - III and Annexure - IV .
- (c)     The criteria/ eligibility to receive financial assistance by VOs under Family Counselling Centre Scheme and Rajiv Gandhi National Creche Scheme are given at Annexure - V .
- (d)            Achievements/progress  made  under  these  two  schemes  during  2014-15,  2015-16  and 2016-17 are as under
- (i) Family Counselling Centre Scheme:
- (ii) Rajiv Gandhi National Creche Scheme:
- (e)     The details of the mechanism for proper implementation of the Family Counselling Centre Scheme and Rajiv Gandhi National Creche Scheme are given at Annexure - VI .
