## ANSWER

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

(a)  to  (e)  The  Government  of  India  has  launched  'Mission  Shakti'-  integrated  women empowerment  programme,  as  umbrella  scheme  for  safety,  security  and  empowerment  of women for implementation during the 15 th Finance Commission period 2021-22 to 2025-26. The 'Mission  Shakti'  consists  of  two  sub-schemes  -  '  Sambal'  and  '  Samarthya'.  The  One  Stop Centre  (OSC)  is  a  component  of  'Sambal'  sub-scheme  under  umbrella  scheme  of  'Mission Shakti. The One Stop Centre has been designated as the mainstay of the Sambal sub-scheme at District level.

The scheme of OSC is implemented with effect from 1 st April 2015 to provide integrated support and assistance to women affected by violence and in distress, both in private and public spaces under one roof and provide an integrated range of services including medical aid, legal aid and advice, temporary shelter, police assistance, psycho-social counselling to needy women.

The setting up of OSCs from the year 2015 onward, at district level, has provided a dedicated platform  to  women  affected  by  violence  and  who  are  in  distress  to  get  necessary  help  and assistance, which was not available earlier.

Presently, 758 OSCs have been approved for 734 districts across the county, out of which 708 OSCs have been operationalized in 35 States/ UTs including in the State of Maharashtra, which have  assisted  over  5.40  lakh  women  till  March  2022.  In  the  State  of  Maharashtra,  all  37 approved OSCs in 36 districts  (including  one  additional  OSC  in  Pune  district)  are  functional, which have assisted over 12,578 women till March 2022. The State/UT-wise details of approved and functional OSCs along with the number of women benefitted since inception of the scheme are at Annexure.

Based  on  encouraging  results  of  this  initiative  and  benefits  to  women,  the  Government  has decided to  open  300 more OSCs under Mission Shakti, in the  districts  having  higher  rate  of crime against women or having bigger geographical area, preferably in aspirational districts.

ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF THE LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 2091 FOR ANSWER ON 29.07.2022 ASKED BY SHRI ARVIND GANPAT  SAWANT  AND  SHRIMATI  BHAVANA  PUNDALIKRAO  GAWALI  REGARDING 'ONE STOP CENTRES'
