## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI G. KISHAN REDDY)

(a) & (b): National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) compiles and publishes  information  on  crime  in  its  publication  'Crime  in  India'. Published reports are available till the year 2016.  As per data furnished by  NCRB,  State/UT  wise  number  of  cases  of  trafficking  reported  and number of children rescued during the years 2014 to 2016 are given in Annex-I and II respectively.

(c): 'Police'  is  a  State  subject  under  the  Seventh  Schedule  to  the Constitution  of  India  and  as  such  prevention  of  the  crime  of  human trafficking  and  crime  against  children  is  the  responsibility  of  State Governments.  However,  the  Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  (MHA)  has  been supplementing the efforts of the State Governments by taking various initiatives and measures.  MHA has provided financial assistance to all States for setting up Anti Human Trafficking Units and 332 Anti Human Trafficking  Units  have  been  set  up  in  various  Districts  of  the  States. MHA  also  provides  financial  assistance  to  the  States  and  Judicial Academies  in  States  to  hold  'Judicial  Colloquiums'  and  'State  level conferences' to sensitize police officials, judicial officers and prosecutors about various provisions of law relevant to trafficking and their  role  in  curbing  trafficking.  Meetings  of  Nodal  Officers  of  Anti Human Trafficking Units of States & UTs are also convened on periodic basis  to  sensitize  them  on  human  trafficking  issues.    MHA  has  also issued various advisories to the States and UTs from time to time on preventing  and  combating  human  trafficking.  These  advisories  are available at MHA's website: www.mha.gov.in.

The  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  implements  'Ujjawala' Scheme for Prevention of Trafficking and Rescue, Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Victims of Trafficking for Commercial Sexual Exploitation.

The  Target  groups  and  beneficiaries  of  the  scheme  are  women  and children  who  are  vulnerable  to  trafficking  and  who  are  the  victims  of trafficking. The  Ministry  of  Women  and  Child  Development  has developed  a  National  Portal  for tracing missing  children and  for monitoring the progress of children residing in the Child Care Institutions  (CCIs)  under  Juvenile  Justice  (Care  and  Protection  of Children) Act 2000.  Delhi Police has informed that they have adopted a multipronged strategy comprising various measures for ensuring safety of  women  and  children  like,  Women  Helpline,  intensive  patrolling  by Beat Officers, sensitisation and check on public places, identification of placement agencies, special drives for tracing and connecting missing children and rescue operations for children forced into labour etc.  For better  coordination  with  neighbouring  States,  Delhi  Police  organises inter-state  coordination  meetings  for  sharing  intelligence  and  for  joint action plan on interstate crime issues.

(d) & (e): The details of Child Care Institutions in Delhi are at Annex-III. The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and the Model Rules framed thereunder, inter-alia, specify standards of physical infrastructure and maintenance of Child Care Institutions. Maintenance of these Institutions is the responsibility of local Government.
