## ANSWER

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

- (a)  to  (d)  To  ensure  better  monitoring  and  efficient  implementation,  presently  in  the XVth  Finance  Commission  Cycle,  all  the  schemes  for  women  and  children  of  the Ministry have been clubbed together into three verticals, viz. (1) Saksham Anganwadi & Poshan 2.0 for improving nutrition indicators in the country (2) Mission Shakti, for safety,  protection  and  empowerment  of  women;  and  (3)  Mission  Vatsalya,  for protection and welfare of children. The details of these schemes are as under:
- (i) Saksham Anganwadi & Poshan 2.0: This programme has been reorganized into 3 primary verticals: (i) Nutrition Support for POSHAN and for Adolescent Girls (ii) Early Childhood Care and Education [3-6 years] and (iii) Anganwadi Infrastructure including modern, upgraded Saksham Anganwadis.
- (ii)  Mission  Shakti: Mission  Shakti  comprises  of  two  sub-schemes 'Sambal' and 'Samarthya' for  safety  and  security  of  women  and  empowerment  of  women respectively.  The  existing  schemes  of  One  Stop  Centres  (OSC),  Women  Helplines (181-WHL) and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) have been made part of Sambal sub- scheme; while the existing schemes of Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY), Ujjwala, Swadhar Greh and Working Women Hostel and National Creche Scheme have been subsumed in 'Samarthya'.

(iii) Mission  Vatsalya: Under Mission Vatsalya, the Child Protection Scheme(CPS) has been strengthened for better outreach and protection for children in need and care in  a  mission  mode  with  the  objective  to:  (i)  Support  and  sustain  Children  in  difficult circumstances,  (ii) Develop  context-based  solutions  for  holistic  development  of children  from  varied  backgrounds,  (iii)  Provide  scope  for  green  field  projects  for encouraging  innovative  solutions,  (iv) Cement  convergent  action  by  gap  funding,  if required.

The funds under the schemes of the Ministry are released to the State Governments for  their  implementation.  However,  funds are  released directly  to  districts  under  the schemes of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP), One Stop Centre (OSC) and Universalization  of  Women  Helplines  (WHL)  only.  In  the  State  of  Madhya  Pradesh, while  fund  under  the  WHL  scheme  is  released  to  Bhopal  district,  district-wise  fund allocation in respect of the  Bhind and Datia districts under One Stop Centre and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao schemes during the last three years are annexed at Annexure-I .
