## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) to (d): The details of the number of observation Homes/Special Homes  supported under Child Protection Services, State/UT-wise is Annexed.

The Ministry  of Women and Child Development (MWCD) is implementing a centrally sponsored 'Child Protection Services' (erstwhile Integrated Child Protection Scheme) for  supporting  the  children  in  difficult  circumstances,  as  envisaged  under  Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 (JJ Act). Under CPS Central Govt. is  providing  financial  assistance  to  the  States/UTs  for  setting  up  and  maintenance  of various types of Child Care Institutions (CCIs).

The JJ Act  and  the  Juvenile  Justice  (Care  and  Protection  of  Children)  Model  Rules, 2016 framed thereunder inter-alia specifies the benchmark of services to be delivered to the children. The primary responsibility of execution of the Act, as such, lies with the State/UTs. The monitoring mechanism is prescribed under Section 54 of the JJ Act and Rule  41  of  the  Model  Rules,  2016.  The  Ministry  has  been  requesting  the  State Governments and UT Administrations from time to time to register all the CCIs under the provisions of JJ Act, so as to ensure that CCIs offer optimum services not less than the minimum standard of care and protection prescribed under the Act & Rules.  The Ministry  has  requested  Chief  Secretaries  of  all  the  States  Governments  and  UT Administrations to issue directions for inspection of all CCIs under the supervision of District  Magistrates  in  each  district.  The  Ministry  has  been  conducting  National Consultations with all the States/UTs to discuss issues related to Child Protection and these consultations were also attended by Senior Police Officers of all the States/UTs nominated as the Nodal Officers. The Ministry has also issued an advisory to the States and UTs regarding the action to be taken in case of disruption to the life of children in case of any untoward incidence of abuse in any CCI.

The  Minister,  WCD  has  recently  drawn  attention  of  the  Chief  Ministers  of  all  the States/UTs towards the necessity of constant monitoring and evaluation of services and facilities  in  CCIs  in  their  respective  States  and  to  advice  District  Magistrates/District Collectors  and  the  Superintendent  of  Police  in  each  district  to  regularly  review  the action being taken for various types of child sexual abuses.
