## ANSWER

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

(a) & (b):   The Government of India is implementing One Stop Centre (OSC) scheme with effect from 1 st April, 2015. OSCs provide a range of integrated services under one roof  including  police  facilitation,  medical  aid,  legal  aid  and  counseling,  psycho-social counseling and temporary shelter to women affected by violence or in distress. As on date, 733 OSCs have been approved for 730 districts across the country, out of which 704 OSCs have been operationalised in 35 States/ UTs, which  have assisted over 4.50 lakh women. The setting up of OSCs from the year 2015 onward,  at district level, have provided a dedicated platform to women facing violence and who are in distress to get necessary help and assistance, which was not available earlier. The OSCs have been set  up  in  different  phases  in  different  districts,  and  over  half  of  them  have  been operationalised in the past three years. This clearly shows that the scheme is moving in the  right  direction  to  achieve  the   envisaged  goals  and  objectives.  The  State-wise details of OSCs set up in first phase is at Annexure-I.

(c): The OSCs have assisted more than 4.5 lakh women as on 30.09.2021. The State / UT-wise details of number of women assisted is at Annexure-II.

(d):  In different phases, proposals for setting up 37 OSCs from State of Maharashtra and  03  OSCs  from  the  UT  of  Andaman  and  Nicorbar  Islands   were  received  in  the Ministry. All these centres were approved by the Programme Approval Board (PAB) of the Ministry and are functional as on date. In addition, Ministry has recently received a proposal on  02.12.2021  for  setting up  one  additional OSC  in  Thane  district  of Maharashtra.

As on date, an amount of Rs. 29.39 crore has been released under the scheme to the State of Maharashtra, out of which Utilisation Certificates (UCs) for an amount of Rs. 5.03 crore have been received. In case of UT of  Andaman and Nicobar Island, against a total release of Rs. 1.88 crore, UCs have been received for an amount of Rs. 1.24 crore.

(e): As  per  the scheme  guidelines,  district/ State authorities  are  mandated  for monitoring, coordinating and mid-course correction for effective implementation of the scheme.   The  Ministry  at  various  levels  also  reviews,  from  time  to  time,  for  effective implementation of the scheme and functioning of these centres by issuing advisories to States Governments/ UT Administrations and conducting meeting, video conferencing etc with all concerned  functionaries. Further, an online platform  namely  Sakhi Dashboard is also available for monitoring of its implementation.
