The  JJ  Act,  2015 mandates  a  security  net  of  service  delivery  structures  to  provide  Institutional  and  nonInstitutional care to these children. The primary responsibility of execution of the Act lies with the States/UTs.

The  primary  responsibility  of  implementation of the scheme lies with the States/UTs. Under the scheme institutional care is provided through CCIs, as a rehabilitative measure.The programmes and activities in Child Care Institutions interalia  include  age-appropriate  education,  access  to  vocational  training,  recreation,  health  care, counseling etc.

As per the scheme guidelines, the State government is required to assess the need and submit a  proposal  for  consideration  of  Project  Approval  Board  (PAB)  under  the  Chairpersonship  of Secretary  (WCD)  annually.  The  PAB   scrutinizes  and  approves  implementation  plans,  and financial proposals from States/UTs for release of grants under the scheme.

Ministry also implements Ujjawala Scheme for combating trafficking of women and children for commercial sexual exploitation, with five specific components -Prevention, Rescue, Rehabilitation, Re-Integration and Repatriation of victims of trafficking. The scheme has been conceived  primarily  for  the  purpose  of  preventing  trafficking  on   one  hand  and  rescue  and rehabilitation  of  victims  on  the  other.  The  scheme  provides for  rehabilitation  of  victims  by providing food,  shelter, counseling, medical  care,  legal  aid  and  vocational  training  as  well  as their reintegration into society.
