## ANSWER

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

- (a) to (d) :  Indira Gandhi Matritva Sahyog Yojana (IGMSY) has been discontinued on 31 st March 2017.  The  One  Stop  Centre  (OSC)  Scheme  provides  a  range  of services including police facilitation, medical aid, psycho-social counselling, legal counselling and  temporary  shelter to women  affected  by  violence in an integrated manner under one roof. So far 728 OSCs have been sanctioned and 595 OSCs have started operations. The details of approved OSCs, operational OSCs and funds released to OSCs are given at Annexure-I.
- (e) :    Recognizing the need to prevent women from exploitation and to support their survival and rehabilitation, the scheme of Short Stay Home for women and girls was  introduced  as  a  social  defence  mechanism,  by  the  then  Department  of Social Welfare in 1969.

The scheme is meant to provide temporary accommodation, maintenance and rehabilitative  services  to  women  and  girls  rendered  homeless  due  to  family discord, crime, violence, mental stress, social ostracism or are being forced into prostitution and are in moral danger. Another scheme with the similar objectives namely  Swadhar  was  launched  by  the  Department  of  Women  and  Child Development  in  2001-02  for  women  in  difficult  circumstances.  The  scheme through the provisions of shelter, food, clothing, counselling, training, clinical and legal aid aims to rehabilitate women in difficult circumstances. Centre for Market Research and Social Development, New Delhi conducted an evaluation in 2007 to  assess  the  performance  of  both  the  schemes.  The  evaluation  report  while citing  the  effectiveness  and  positive  impact  of  measures  adopted  under  the schemes for counselling and rehabilitation found that the profile and category of residents,  admission procedure, counselling, quality of service, vocational training,  rehabilitation  and  follow  up  procedure  are  almost  similar  in  both  the schemes. It,  therefore,  recommended  merger  of  these  two  schemes  for  better functioning  and  outcomes  with  lesser  administrative  burdens  and  procedures. There  were  total  number  of  307  Short  Stay  Homes  and  311  Swadhar  Grehs functioning in the year 2013-14.

- f) : The Guidelines and SOP for the OSCs have been circulated to all the States/ UTs  and  districts  for  effective  implementation  of  One  Stop  Centre  (OSC) scheme. Awareness generation programmes related to One Stop Centre scheme are conducted by State Governments/ UT Administrations from time to time.
